Directions

  1. For the BBQ sauce: Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, whiskey, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes and mustard in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until warm and the sugar is melted.

  3. For the coleslaw: Stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and some salt in a large bowl. Add the jalapeno, pineapple, green cabbage and red cabbage; toss well.
  4. Serve the slaw and shredded chicken on the toasted buns.
