Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 3 cups Coleslaw mix
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 6 Hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, season the chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Rub the seasonings evenly over the chicken.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the BBQ sauce, chicken stock, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Cover the skillet and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the chicken is cooking, make the coleslaw. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Set aside in the fridge to chill.
Once the chicken is done cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the skillet. Toss the shredded chicken in the sauce until it is well-coated.
(optional) Toast the hamburger buns by spreading each half with butter and placing them face-down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the BBQ chicken onto the bottom half of a bun, followed by a generous scoop of coleslaw. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your No Blues BBQ Sandwiches!
