Instructions
Zesty Italian Salad Dressing
- Add all dressing ingredients, including vinegar and oil, to a pint sized mason jar or resealable container. Shake vigorously, then transfer to the fridge to chill until ready to serve.
Pulled Chicken
- Place chicken in a crockpot. Pour barbecue sauce, prepared Italian salad dressing and brown sugar over the top. Stir well to combine and cover crockpot with lid.
- Cook 3-4 hours on High, stirring occasionally if possible.
- When chicken is cooked through and shreds easily, use 2 large forks or meat shredder to pull chicken apart. Stir again to combine and cover with lid
- Allow to cook another 30 to 60 minutes, to let the chicken absorb the sauce and let the sauce thicken.
To Assemble Sliders
- Slice open slider rolls (we used 2 per person). Put 2 heaping tablespoons of pulled chicken on each slider. Add a tablespoon of shredded cheese, then top with pickle chips and top bun.Serve and enjoy!
