A delightful twist on the classic pulled chicken sandwich, these sliders are packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
Heat a shallow pan over medium heat and add enough water to cover the chicken breasts.
Ensure the water is hot but not boiling to gently poach the chicken.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan and poach for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Check the chicken's doneness by cutting into the thickest part to ensure it's no longer pink.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool slightly on a cutting board.
Letting the chicken rest makes it easier to shred.
In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, minced garlic, and liquid smoke.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and bring it to a simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Shred the cooled chicken using two forks or your hands.
Shredding the chicken finely helps it absorb the sauce better.
Add the shredded chicken to the simmering sauce and stir to coat evenly.
Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the pulled chicken on lightly toasted slider buns.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
