Instructions
Preparation of BBQ Chicken
In a small bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, brown sugar and chicken stock, and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and cook the chicken with a little salt and pepper until it is cooked and browned on both sides. Remove it from the pan and allow it to cool for 5 minutes, and then shred it using a fork.
Heat a little oil in the same pan and saute grated garlic and onions until it turns brown.
Add the prepared BBQ mix to the pan, mix well, and reduce the flame to low allowing it to slow cook and till it starts to boil.
Add the shredded chicken at this stage and mix well with the sauce until coated completely, and cook on low for 5 more minutes till the chicken mix is caramelized properly.
Preparation of Coleslaw
Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix with the coleslaw mix and check the seasonings.
Notes
If you prefer your BBQ sauce to be sweeter, add more brown sugar as per your choice.
