Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1.5 lbs Chicken breasts Boneless and skinless is best for shredding.
1/2 cup Hot honey Adjust the amount according to spice preference.
1/4 cup Soy sauce Low sodium can be used for a healthier option.
1 tablespoon Garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can be used as an alternative.
1 tablespoon Onion powder Fresh onions can add extra texture and flavor.
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Can substitute with white pepper for a different taste.
6 Sandwich buns Consider brioche or whole grain for added texture.
Toppings Coleslaw, pickles, and lettuce are excellent choices.

Method

Preparation

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix together hot honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Shred the chicken with two forks in the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.

Serving

Serve the hot honey chicken on toasted sandwich buns and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours in the hot honey mixture before cooking. Toast the sandwich buns lightly before serving for added texture and crunch. Pair the sandwiches with a side of slow cooker chicken noodle soup for a comforting meal.
