Hot Honey Chicken Sandwiches are a delicious and spicy twist on a classic sandwich, featuring tender chicken thighs coated in a sweet and spicy hot honey sauce, topped with creamy coleslaw.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Sliced pickles (optional)
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the chicken thighs, hot honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and stir it back into the sauce.
- In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the hamburger buns if desired.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous portion of the hot honey chicken on the bottom half of each bun, topping with coleslaw and pickles if using.
- Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños to the sandwiches.
- Substitute the coleslaw with sliced avocado for a creamier texture.
