Ingredients
  

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce (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: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

    Create the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring all the chicken is well coated.

      Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and shreds easily with a fork.

        Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining sauce.

          Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Spoon a generous amount of BBQ chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw if desired, then place the top half of the bun on each slider.

            Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve with pickles on the side. Enjoy your delicious slow cooker BBQ chicken sliders!
