BBQ Shit Chicken Sliders

These sliders are sooo good! They have a perfect blend of cool and tangy meets hot and spicy. They're sure to be a hit at a party or on your dinner table.

Ingredients

* Canola oil
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
* 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8)
* 1 sprig of fresh thyme
* 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
* salt
* pepper
* 1/2 cup water
* 2 tsp sugar
* 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
* 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
* 1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded
* 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup of BBQ Shit bbq sauce
* 1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
* 1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
* 16 slider buns (or dinner rolls sliced in half)

Preparation

1. Use canola oil to the bottom of a heavy bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid, and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until softened.
2. Add the chicken thighs, skin side up, fitting them in tightly. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add the water. Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once it's cool, shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.
4. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, vinegar, and red pepper flakes, and mix together. Add the shredded cabbage, along with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat it evenly. Cover and place in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
5. In another large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, BBQ Shit, mustard, and hot pepper sauce. Taste it, and add additional salt and pepper if you prefer. Add the shredded chicken, and toss to coat it evenly.
6. Divide the chicken evenly among each bottom bun, top with cabbage, cover with the top bun, and insert a toothpick to hold it together.


Tip: If you're in a hurry (or are feeling lazy) you can shred up a rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket instead of cooking the thighs on the stove. You can also try using a package of coleslaw mix (and leave out the dressing) as a substitute for shredded cabbage if you're looking to save some time.
