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 topping, optional)

Pickles (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Season them generously with salt and pepper, followed by the garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Make sure each breast is evenly coated with the spices for maximum flavor.

    Create the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully integrated. Pour the sauce over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated.

      Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and choose the cooking temperature. Set it to low and allow to cook for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and can easily be shredded with a fork.

        Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker using tongs. Place it on a cutting board or a large plate and shred the meat with two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining sauce so that every bite is deliciously juicy.

          Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Take a generous scoop of the BBQ chicken mixture and spoon it onto the bottom half of each bun. If desired, add a layer of coleslaw on top for an extra crunch and creaminess. Finally, cap each slider with the top half of the bun.

            Serve: Arrange the assembled sliders on a large platter. For an extra zing, serve them alongside pickles for dipping or snacking. Enjoy your mouthwatering slow cooker BBQ chicken sliders at your next gathering or as a cozy weeknight meal!
