I love a good crock-pot dish… AND this Pulled Ginger-Chicken Slider with Cilantro Slaw is fabulously good!! This is the BEST pulled chicken recipe ever… then add the slaw and the mini little bun and the name ‘Slider’ AND you’ve got a Super Bowl Party!
I love Garden Gourmet Herbs- they’re just like fresh herbs right out of the garden but in handy little tubes that last for months in the fridge! The BEST of both worlds, I’m telling ya!!

Pulled Ginger-Chicken Slider with Cilantro Slaw… is just perfect for a big game day! Enjoy this quick and easy AND delicious Slider at your Super Bowl Party this year! Or any party for that matter 🙂
Tomorrow… I’m excited to introduce you all to my spunky little friend, Aleisha, who will be one of our Monthly Contributors!! Love that girl and you all will too!!
Happy Thursday and if you’ve gotten record amounts of snow the last few days like we have– happy shoveling too!
Yes, you totally could use fresh. I would use 2-3 tablespoons cilantro- depending on how much you like the flavor. On the ginger I would use the same amount, the ginger paste in the recipe is fresh and has the flavor intensity as fresh grated ginger. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! xoxo~ Ruthie
I’m gathering BBQ ideas for a party I’m throwing tomorrow night, and this seems like a perfect addition! Quick question: How far in advance can I make the slaw? Does it get better with age? Thanks for the great recipe!
You’ll LOVE this recipe… it’s perfect for BBQ’s. You can make the slaw a day or so ahead. The flavors will meld and I think it tastes better with age but either way it is delicious! I hope you have a fun evening 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
This sounds delish, but the 1 cup of ketchup really freaks me out — that’s about 250 calories just in KETCHUP!!! Any suggestions for something a little skinnier???
Hi Kathryn… I totally think that 1 C of tomato sauce would work just fine in place of the ketchup. It cooks all day down to a delicious sauce and I can’t see why that would totally work! Thanks for stopping by and please come back again soon 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
Could I use fresh garlic and fresh ginger? And if so, in what proportion to dried?
Yes, you totally could use fresh. I would use 2-3 tablespoons cilantro- depending on how much you like the flavor. On the ginger I would use the same amount, the ginger paste in the recipe is fresh and has the flavor intensity as fresh grated ginger. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! xoxo~ Ruthie
Could it be 6 hours on Low?
Oh my… I fixed it! Low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours- thank you for catching that 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie

Try the reduced sugar Heinz or you can make something similar with tomato paste and Splenda.
