Instructions

Place the chicken thighs in a slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat. Add the onion slices and bbq sauce. Toss to combine.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 3 hours until they're cooked through and easy to shred. The chicken internal temperature should be 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cole slaw. In a large bowl, add the greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup or honey, salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Add the coleslaw mix and toss until completely coated with the greek yogurt sauce. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the chicken is done cooking, shred using two forks. You can do this right in the slow cooker or remove the chicken and shred it on a cutting board. Place back in the slow cooker and toss to combine with the sauce.
Serve the chicken on a bun, drizzle with more BBQ sauce (optional) and top with coleslaw.
