SLOW-COOKER HOT HONEY CHICKEN SANDWICHES
These simple sandwiches are reminiscent of a lazy summer cookout - but doable on a weeknight. Though slow cookers are often associated with winter, they're great in hot weather because they don't heat up the kitchen like ovens do. For this recipe, there is no need to add liquid to the pot before cooking, because the chicken will release moisture as it cooks. If you have a lot of liquid remaining when the chicken is done, that's absolutely fine; just incorporate it into the shredded chicken. But if you have a little extra time, before you shred the chicken or add the honey, remove the chicken to a bowl with tongs, pour the juices into a small saucepan, and simmer until the juices are reduced by half to intensify flavor and thicken the sauce. After that, simply pick the recipe back up at Step 3.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken, oil, 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, the onion powder, sweet paprika and smoked paprikas. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender, 4 to 5 hours. (The chicken will keep well on warm for another 3 hours.)
- At any time before serving, combine the honey with the remaining 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a liquid measuring cup or a small bowl. Cover and reserve at room temperature until the chicken is done.
- Using two forks, finely shred the chicken with its cooking liquid. Pour in the spiced honey and the cider vinegar and toss to coat. Taste; it may need a little more salt, to sharpen the flavor. Also add more red-pepper flakes and vinegar, if you like.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, mayonnaise, scallions and lemon juice; season the slaw to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toast the buns, then spread with mayonnaise and a few shakes of hot sauce. Mound the chicken on the bottom buns and top with the slaw.
Tips:
- For a spicy marinade, use a combination of cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and salt. You can also add a bit of cumin and chili powder for extra flavor.
- Buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it a slightly tangy flavor. You can use regular milk or yogurt as a substitute, but buttermilk will give you the best results.
- Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more juicy.
- When frying the chicken, use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as canola oil or vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) before adding the chicken.
- Fry the chicken in batches so that the oil does not get overcrowded. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking together and will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the hot chicken sandwiches immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as pickles, coleslaw, and spicy mayo.
