When chicken is done, turn off slow cooker and lift each piece of chicken from the sauce with a slotted spoon or tongs. Shred chicken using two forks, placing shredded chicken in a 6-qt pot. Shred chipotles along with the chicken, or discard for a milder dish. Defat cooking liquid using a fat separator (or skim fat from the slow cooker before pouring onto chicken.) Refrigerate chicken in the sauce at this point if you're serving later, or reheat immediately to serve, along with hot sauce if desired.
