Slow Cooker Brown Sugar BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

This was delicious!  I found it over on 5 Boys Baker and it is easy and delicious.  My 16-year old, "This isn't just good Mom, it's like, really good!"  My family doesn't eat coleslaw but I know if I took this over to my grandmother's house, I would definitely make it because she would love it.
