Here’s a new twist on a crowd-pleasing dish: A curried pulled chicken with that smoky hint of East Indian tikka. The best part is it all comes together in our favorite weeknight-friendly vessel: the slow cooker. The chicken is flavored with tomatoes, garlic, green chili peppers, red onions, red wine vinegar, honey, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, as well as spiced with paprika and curry powder. After letting it cook low and slow for 6 hours, simply shred the chicken while it's still in the slow cooker. There's no browning or searing of the meat or aromatics in the morning, which also makes preparation and cleanup a breeze.
