Instructions

1
For the BBQ Chicken: In a large pot or slow cooker, combine chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, and chicken broth. Cook on low for 3-4 hours in a slow cooker, or simmer on the stovetop for 30-40 minutes until chicken is easily shredded. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the pot, stirring to coat with sauce. Keep warm.
2
For the Coleslaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seeds (if using), and salt and pepper until smooth. Add the shredded coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
3
Prepare the onion: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. This step is optional but adds depth.
4
Assemble the sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ shredded chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with a spoonful of sautéed onions (if using) and a dollop of creamy coleslaw.
5
Place the top half of the bun and serve immediately. These sliders are best enjoyed warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the BBQ chicken ahead of time?

Yes, the BBQ chicken can be prepared up to 2-3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before assembling the sliders.

What kind of BBQ sauce should I use?

Choose your favorite brand of BBQ sauce. For a classic flavor, a sweet and smoky variety works well. Always check the label to ensure it does not contain alcohol, as per dietary restrictions.

Can I use different vegetables in the coleslaw?

Absolutely! Feel free to add shredded carrots, red cabbage, or even a bit of chopped bell pepper to the coleslaw mix for added color and crunch.
