2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts The star of the dish. Choose fresh chicken for the best results.
1 cup Barbecue sauce Use your favorite brand or homemade sauce for a personal touch.
1 tablespoon Olive oil Helps to keep the chicken moist while cooking.
1 teaspoon Garlic powder Enhances the flavor, giving it a savory kick.
1 teaspoon Onion powder Adds depth to the overall taste of the chicken.
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika Brings a subtle smokiness that complements the barbecue sauce.
to taste Salt and pepper Essential for bringing out the flavors.
12 pieces Slider buns Choose soft, fresh buns that will hold the pulled chicken well.
to taste Coleslaw Optional topping that adds crunch and freshness.
to taste Pickles Optional garnish that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the barbecue sauce.

In a large bowl, season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the barbecue sauce over them. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the remaining barbecue sauce. Let it cook on low for an additional 15-30 minutes.
Slice the slider buns in half. Spoon a generous amount of pulled chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Add coleslaw and pickles if desired, then place the top half of the buns on.
Serve the sliders warm and enjoy!
