8-10
1⁄4 cup Natural Grocers® Brand Raw and Unfiltered Clover Honey
2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Garlic Powder
1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt
2 tablespoons sriracha or other hot sauce
1 (12-ounce) can gluten-free ale or dark beer
2-2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (approximately 8 thighs)
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
1 tablespoon cold filtered water
8 gluten-free soft rolls
Optional toppings
Natural Grocers Brand Dill Pickles Chips
Extra hot sauce
Organic coleslaw
Thinly sliced organic onion
  1. Stir together the honey, vinegar, seasonings, hot sauce, and ale in the slow cooker.
  2. Add the chicken thighs, gently tossing to coat with the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on low for four hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through (temperature of 165°F). Once done, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
  4. Skim off any fat from the surface of the cooking liquid and strain the liquid into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Let the liquid boil for 8-10 minutes, until it’s reduced to approximately one cup.
  5. While the liquid is boiling, combine the tapioca flour and water to make a slurry. Once the liquid has reduced to about a cup, reduce the heat and add the slurry, stirring constantly until thickened.
  6. Add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and pour in the reduced sauce. Toss to coat and leave the slow cooker on warm heat. Serve on buns with optional toppings if desired.

for 8 servings. Per one serving of filling no bun
