INSTRUCTIONS
Coca Cola pulled chicken sliders
Mix together the coke, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, molasses, chili powder, and cayenne in the bowl of a slow cooker.
Add the chicken to the slow cooker.
Cook on low heat for 5-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
Strain the chicken over a bowl to remove excess liquid (I didn't press it or force it to strain, I just used the colander to quickly remove some of the extra liquid). Add about a cup of the strained liquid back to the chicken to keep it moist.
Add salt & pepper, to taste.
Serve on sandwich rolls with cole slaw. (I used gluten-free sandwich rolls, which I find at both of the major grocery store chains - Safeway & Lucky - in our area).
Apple cabbage slaw
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.
Add salt & pepper, to taste.
Let rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Serve on sliders with coca cola pulled chicken. Eat any remaining slaw as a side dish:)
