Directions
Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker bag to prevent sticking.
Place the Chicken:
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts or thighs and place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, mix together Hot Honey Dust, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, kosher salt, and cracked pepper. Dust the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Add the Sweet and Tangy Elements:
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the seasoned chicken. Drizzle the honey and apple cider vinegar on top. Finally, place the butter squares evenly over the chicken.
Cook the Chicken:
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
Shred the Chicken:
- Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, ensuring it mixes well with the juices.
Prepare the Buns:
- Lightly toast the brioche buns just before serving to add a delightful crunch.
Build Your Sandwiches:
- Pile the shredded hot honey chicken onto the toasted brioche buns. Add your desired toppings such as dill pickle chips, pickled jalapeños, and creamy coleslaw for extra flavor and crunch.
