Beer Barbecue Chicken Sliders in the Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Barbecue Beer Chicken Sliders are so quick and easy!  The hard part is when you start smelling that heavenly odor and know you still have to wait for it to finish cooking.  Make it the night before and let the chicken breasts marinate in the sauce overnight, before popping into the crockpot early the next morning.  It’s what’s for lunch!

I served this on Hawaiian Slider Rolls, which are perfectly kid sized.  Or Charlene sized.  Though I did split one in half to share with Wheels so as not to leave any good thing behind.  For extra flavor, butter the buns and toast them in a large skillet just before adding the filling.

This is also a good recipe to make ahead and freeze so you have one waiting in the freezer for those evenings you need a quick dinner.  Pop it in the crockpot before leaving for the day and you’ll have those great aromas and a hot meal ready when you walk in the door.
