- Cover and cook on Low until you can press on the chicken with the back of a fork and it falls apart and is no longer pink in the center, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Pull out each piece of chicken and shred in a large bowl with 2 forks.
- When all chicken is shredded, combine with any water remaining in the slow cooker--this keeps the shredded chicken moist.

SLOW-COOKER HOT HONEY CHICKEN SANDWICHES
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.

Steps:
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, mayonnaise, scallions and lemon juice; season the slaw to taste with salt and pepper.
- 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.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this recipe. They're both lean and cook quickly in the crock pot.
- Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the chicken, so choose one that you like. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even apple cider are all good options.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables are a great way to add flavor, nutrition, and color to your shredded chicken sandwiches. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before shredding. Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before shredding will help it retain its moisture and make it easier to shred.
- Use your favorite toppings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for shredded chicken sandwiches. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, cheese, bacon, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Crock pot shredded chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give crock pot shredded chicken sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
