This was a fun and easy dish - like barbecue sandwich. A plus is that it is made in a crock pot which is great because no standing over a hot stove OR heating up the kitchen with the oven if you don't have A/C. Also it is kind of a classic for summer meals.

Pulled chicken or beef sandwiches are traditionally served with coleslaw on top - any Cole slaw will work but if you are using a really "wet" coleslaw you should drain it somewhat or the sandwich becomes to liquified.

ETA - I think the portions are off as I think that two pounds of chicken - especially shredded yields more than four servings. Of course if you are feeding ravenous teenager boys their servings might be larger but they would probably need additional buns for the sandwiches anyway. The leftovers reheat well because chicken thighs in a sauce are made for reheating into delicious leftovers.

Slow-Cooker Hot-Honey Chicken Sandwiches
By Sarah DiGregorio

* YIELD 
4 servings 
* TIME
 4 to 5 hours and 20 minutes

These simple sandwiches are reminiscent of a lazy summer cookout — but doable on a weeknight. Though slow cookers are often associated with winter, they’re great in hot weather because they don’t heat up the kitchen like ovens do. For this recipe, there is no need to add liquid to the pot before cooking, because the chicken will release moisture as it cooks. If you have a lot of liquid remaining when the chicken is done, that’s absolutely fine; just incorporate it into the shredded chicken. But if you have a little extra time, before you shred the chicken or add the honey, remove the chicken to a bowl with tongs, pour the juices into a small saucepan, and simmer until the juices are reduced by half to intensify flavor and thicken the sauce. After that, simply pick the recipe back up at Step 3.

INGREDIENTS

For the chicken

* 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
* 2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
* 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
* ¼ teaspoon ground smoked paprika - need this to give it a BBQ flavor
* Kosher salt and black pepper

For the Honey Sauce

* ¼ cup honey 
* 2 teaspoons cider vinegar, plus more to taste

For the Cole Slaw
* 2 heaping cups shredded green cabbage (about 8 ounces or 1/4 medium green cabbage)
* ¼ cup mayonnaise, plus more for the buns
* 3 scallions, sliced
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Serving

* 4 rolls or buns (preferably onion rolls)
* Vinegary hot sauce, for serving

PREPARATION

1. In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken, oil, 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, the onion powder, sweet paprika and smoked paprikas. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender, 4 to 5 hours. (The chicken will keep well on warm for another 3 hours.)

2. At any time before serving, combine the honey with the remaining 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a liquid measuring cup or a small bowl. Cover and reserve at room temperature until the chicken is done. 

3. Using two forks, finely shred the chicken with its cooking liquid. Pour in the spiced honey and the cider vinegar and toss to coat. Taste; it may need a little more salt, to sharpen the flavor. Also add more red-pepper flakes and vinegar, if you like. 

4. In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, mayonnaise, scallions and lemon juice; season the slaw to taste with salt and pepper. 

5. Toast the buns, then spread with mayonnaise and a few shakes of hot sauce. Mound the chicken on the bottom buns and top with the slaw.

Seems too "hot" (peppery) for me.

Might try with just a bit of red pepper flakes.
