Instructions

  • To the slow cooker, combine the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder. Mix well.
  • Place the chicken breast in the slow cooker and coat in the BBQ sauce mixture.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  • Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the slow cooker.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Split the Kings Hawaiian rolls and place the rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast the rolls until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Distribute the shredded BBQ chicken on the bottom halves of the rolls.
  • Cover with the top halves of the rolls, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  • Arrange the sliders on a serving platter, serve with coleslaw for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Experiment with different flavors and heat levels of BBQ sauce to customize the sliders. From smoky to sweet, the flavors and endless.
  • While King's Hawaiian rolls lend a subtly sweet flavor, any slider-sized buns or rolls can be used.
  • Add toppings like sliced pickles, red onions, or a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce. Coleslaw is a great side with these sliders.
  • The shredded BBQ chicken can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 days, allowing for easy assembly when ready to serve.
  • Any leftover shredded BBQ chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
