Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the chicken:
1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
½ cup ketchup
1/2 cup low sugar bbq sauce (I love Stubb's Spicy BBQ sauce)
¼ cup water or chicken broth
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the slaw:
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
Freshly ground salt and pepper
For serving:
4 whole grain or gluten free seedy hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Add ketchup, bbq sauce, water, worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, cumin and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Place chicken thighs on top and flip over to coat the chicken thighs with the sauce. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  • Once done, shred chicken and place back in the slow cooker and stir with the sauce. Serve immediately or turn slow cooker to the warm setting and serve later.
  • Make the slaw while the chicken is cooking: In a medium bowl combine carrots, cabbage, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil and salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate until you are ready to serve.
  • Once ready to serve, use a slotted spoon to add chicken to bun, top with slaw and remaining bun. You can also serve these with sliced cheese if you prefer. Serves 4.
