Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

I can make no claim to this recipe, but someone at McCormick did a damn good job and I <3 them for it.  And sadly I went in really hoping I would not be left with junky bbq on the 4th of July.  It was stupid easy.  Really.  You could have a 10 year old make this.  :)  And it was beyond amazing.  I have grown up on thicker bbq sauces so I thew several tablespoons of cornstarch in.  Voila!  I did mine on kaiser rolls with sliced cheddar cheese.  And some grilled corn on the cob (roll the uncooked [washed] corn in olive oil and fresh ground sea salt.  Mmmmm.).  Makes a great easy meal.
