Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (trimmed of excess fat)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup ((I recommend Grade B))
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (plus optional additional for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Healthy Coleslaw (for serving (I recommend swapping the bell pepper for 1 Granny Smith apple cut into matchsticks))
- Whole wheat buns (for serving)
Steps
-
For the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker.
-
In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the ketchup, bourbon, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
-
Pour the sauce over the chicken.
-
Cover and cook for 2 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low, until the chicken is cooked through.
-
While the chicken cooks, prepare the Healthy Coleslaw.
-
Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl or plate and shred with two forks.
-
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the buns with Dijon mustard (optional). Pile the shredded chicken onto the bottom bun, top with slaw, then add the top bun. Enjoy warm.
