Ingredients
  

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

12 slider buns

Coleslaw (for optional topping)

Sliced pickles (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts directly into the slow cooker. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika for a robust flavor profile.

    Create the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together until fully blended to form a flavorful marinade. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that each piece is well-coated.

      Slow Cook: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow the chicken to cook for 6-7 hours or, if you're short on time, set it to high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

        Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and gently stir it into the sauce, ensuring that it's evenly coated.

          Assemble the Sliders: Take the slider buns and slice them in half. On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous mound of the BBQ chicken mixture. If desired, add a spoonful of coleslaw on top for a crunchy texture. Finally, cap each slider with the top half of the bun.

            Serve: Arrange the assembled sliders on a decorative platter. Serve with a side of sliced pickles for added flavor and crunch. These sliders are perfect for gatherings or a cozy family meal. Enjoy!
