• 1 4-5 lbs whole chicken
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cup yellow mustard

• 4 cups coleslaw mix
• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 1 cup water

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, yellow mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create the vinegar sauce.

3. 3

   Place the whole chicken in a roasting pan and pour half of the vinegar sauce over it, making sure to coat the chicken evenly.

4. 4

   Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the chicken moist during cooking.

5. 5

   Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

6. 6

   Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before shredding it with two forks.

7. 7

   While the chicken is resting, prepare the coleslaw by combining the coleslaw mix and mayonnaise in a separate bowl. Mix well and set aside.

8. 8

   Once shredded, mix the remaining vinegar sauce into the pulled chicken to enhance the flavor.

9. 9

   To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of pulled chicken on the bottom half of each bun, add a scoop of coleslaw on top, and cover with the top half of the bun.
