Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 mini slider buns
- 2 cups coleslaw
- Dill pickle slices (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour 1 cup of BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar over the chicken. Make sure the chicken is well-coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker, mix in the remaining 1 cup of BBQ sauce, and stir well to combine.
- Warm the slider buns slightly (you can toast them lightly if you prefer).
- Assemble the sliders by placing a generous amount of pulled chicken on the bottom half of each bun, topping with coleslaw, and closing with the top bun.
- Serve with dill pickle slices on the side, if desired.
Helpful Tips
For a smokier flavor, use a smoked BBQ sauce. If you’re short on time, pre-made coleslaw from your local grocery store can be a great timesaver. To make this recipe even easier for beginners, you can use a rotisserie chicken from the store and simply mix it with the BBQ sauce and seasonings.
Storage
Store any leftover pulled chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the chicken for up to 2 months. Reheat before serving.
Pairings
These BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders pair wonderfully with fresh coleslaw, baked beans, or a crisp green salad. For drinks, consider serving with iced tea or a refreshing lemonade.
