MAKES 24 SLIDERS
1 4-pound beef brisket flat
All-purpose seasoning
1 onion, sliced
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (divided)
1 small can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
24 slider buns
Coleslaw
Sliced pickles (optional)
Preheat oven to 250 F. Place brisket into a large baking pan and season all over with seasoning mix. With brisket fat-side up, cover with onion slices. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup barbecue sauce and chipotle peppers and sauce, and pour over brisket. Seal baking pan tightly with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 5 hours (1¼ hours per pound).
Remove brisket from oven and let cool slightly before removing to a cutting board. Trim off the fat cap and slice thinly; return to baking pan and spoon sauce over the sliced meat. If sauce is not as thick as you would like it, pour sauce into a medium pan and boil on medium heat until reduced by half the amount. Stir in ½ cup additional barbecue sauce. When sauce is the desired thickness, pour over sliced brisket.
Serve on slider buns with coleslaw and pickles.
