Print Recipe

Ingredients

8-12 medium sized slider buns
1 lb chicken breast, freshly cooked and shredded
1 cup BBQ sauce of choice (we love Primal Kitchen Hawaiian Style BBQ Sauce)

Apple Coleslaw

1 Sunrise Magic® Apple, julienned
16 oz pre shredded cabbage mix
1 cup pineapple chunks, roughly chopped
⅔ cup pickled jalapeño, roughly chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
½ tsp ground black pepper

Directions

Make the coleslaw by tossing the apple, cabbage, pineapple, and pickled jalapeño into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayo, apple cider vinegar, honey, and pepper until mixed. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss until combined. Place in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving.
Preheat the oven to broil. Place the slider buns face up on a baking sheet. Toast for about 2 minutes until lightly browned.
Toss the hot shredded chicken with desired bbq sauce until just combined.
Place a generous amount of chicken onto the bottom of a slider bun, followed by a generous amount of the coleslaw. Place the top bun on and enjoy!

Make it gluten-free:
Use gluten-free slider buns (we love Kim & Jake’s Gluten Free) and gluten-free BBQ for a gluten-free option.

Make it vegan:
Substitute the chicken with pulled jackfruit, and use vegan mayo and pure maple syrup in the coleslaw instead of regular mayo and honey.
