Pulled Chicken and BBQ Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Step 1: Cook the Chicken

    In a slow cooker, place the chicken breasts and pour in the Cheerwine soda. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the BBQ sauce.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

    Spoon the pulled chicken onto the toasted rolls and top with creamy coleslaw (recipe below). Serve immediately.
