Saucy Chicken Sliders
Sweet, smoky and tender — that’s this recipe. Preparing it in the slow cooker makes it easy, too. You can also serve the chicken atop rice or in tortillas, and the recipe can be doubled for a crowd.
Ingredients
- 8 boneless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
- 1 cup sliced red onion
- 1 cups Memphis-style barbecue sauce
- 2½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- 6–8 small slider rolls
- Slaw (optional)
Directions
-
Place the chicken in a slow cooker. Spread the onions on top.
-
In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, vinegar, paprika and chili powder. Pour the mixture over the chicken and onions. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours.
-
When the cooking time is done, use a knife and fork to shred the chicken in the cooker, then stir in the parsley or cilantro.
-
To serve, put the chicken in the rolls and top with slaw, if desired.
