Instructions

Mix the gold BBQ sauce ingredients together. Tip: make a second batch (or half batch) for topping sandwiches later.

Pour the BBQ sauce into a slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts and toss them in the sauce to coat.

Cook the chicken on HIGH for 4 hours (or LOW or 8 hours), then remove from the slow cooker and shred it with a couple of forks.

Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and cook for another 1 to 1.5 hours on HIGH.

Whisk the dill pickle slaw dressing ingredients together.

Add the cabbage, red onion, and sliced pickles to a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss until fully combined.

Pile a generous amount of chicken onto a toasted bun. (If you have extra barbecue sauce, spoon some on top of the chicken.)

Add some of the dill pickle slaw onto the chicken, top with some fried onions (or jalapeños or chips, if using), then cover with the top half of the bun.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pickle Brine Magic 💦
Use the dill pickle brine as a secret tenderizing agent for the chicken by marinating it briefly before slow cooking to enhance moisture and flavor.
Slaw Texture Hack 🥬
Salt and drain the cabbage for 15 minutes before mixing the slaw to prevent watery coleslaw and ensure a crisp, crunchy texture.
Slow Cooker BBQ Intensity 🍲
Caramelize the BBQ sauce ingredients in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker to develop deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
Crunch Layer Strategy 🥄
Add crispy fried onions or chips just before serving to maintain maximum crunchiness and prevent sogginess.
Flavor Layering Technique 🧂
Toast your spices (like smoked paprika and garlic powder) in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into the BBQ sauce to unlock their full aromatic potential.
