Ingredients
1/4 cup hot sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, diced
One 14-ounce can tomato sauce
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Blue Cheese Aioli:
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions
- Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire, molasses, garlic, onions and tomato sauce to a slow cooker and stir to mix the ingredients together.
