INGREDIENTS:

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil 
• 1 tablespoon minced onion 
• 1 tablespoon garlic minced
• 1 cup ketchup 
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 
• 1/2 cup brown sugar 
• 2 tablespoons molasses 
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) 
• Salt and pepper, to taste 
• 2 cups shredded cabbage 
• 1 carrot, shredded 
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise 
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 
• 1 teaspoon honey 
• 12 brioche slider buns, toasted 
• Pickle slices 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Set aside. 
2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, let cool slightly, and then shred with forks. 
3. Return the skillet to heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet and pour in the homemade BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and cook until the chicken is heated through and coated with the sauce. 
4. In a bowl, mix together cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. 
5. Spoon the BBQ chicken onto the bottom halves of the toasted brioche slider buns. Top with the homemade slaw and a few pickle slices. Cover with the top halves of the buns. 
6. Place the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately with a side of extra barbecue sauce
