- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 onion, finely chopped

Instructions Checklist
- Step 1Preheat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Step 2In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add half the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring once, until meat is golden brown, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the slow cooker, leaving as much oil behind as possible. Repeat with remaining chicken.

- Step 5Transfer chicken to a large plate. Using two forks, shred chicken; return to sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on buns, with pickled vegetables on the side.
