Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, chicken broth or water, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it back into the sauce in the slow cooker.
Prepare the Tangy Cabbage Slaw
- Place the sliced cabbage in a large bowl and cover with 4 cups of hot water and a pinch of salt. Let it soak for 30 minutes to soften.
- In a separate bowl, add the thinly sliced red onion and pour 1 cup of vinegar over it. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes to pickle.
- Drain the cabbage and squeeze out excess water. Add the drained pickled onions. Toss the slaw with a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- Toast your burger buns if desired.
- Place a generous amount of BBQ pulled chicken on the bottom bun. Top with a scoop of the tangy cabbage slaw. Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
- Serve these delicious sandwiches with a side of your choice, like fries or a simple salad.
