North Carolina BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

With a quick, five-ingredient sauce you mix directly in your slow cooker, these North Carolina-style barbecue chicken sandwiches are super easy and insanely delicious!

The specialty there is a thin but boldly flavored sauce made of vinegar with a bit of cayenne-inspired spiciness. It’s fabulous. My mouth waters just thinking about it (not kidding).

• apple cider vinegar • sugar • salt • hot sauce • black pepper • chicken breasts • yogurt

Ingredients

Combine vinegar, brown sugar, salt, hot sauce, and black pepper in your slow cooker. Add chicken.

1.

Cook in a 3-4 quart slow cooker, on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. If using a larger 5-6 quart crock-pot, cook on low for about 6 hours.

2.

Just before serving, shred chicken (with two forks) and stir into sauce to incorporate. Serve on buns with coleslaw on top or as an accompaniment on the side, and pass hot sauce as needed.
