Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sliders
These sliders are quick to make, fun to eat, and loaded with flavor. The sweetness in the Hawaiian rolls and chicken pair perfectly with the tangy crunch of the coleslaw.

- Cook on high for 4-5 hours.
- Once cooked, remove chicken from slow cooker and shred.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons flour into the sauce in the slow cooker and mix well.

Notes
Helpful hints:
- I do not recommend using frozen chicken for this recipe because it creates too much liquid when cooking.
