• 3 bay leaves
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
• 2 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning sauce
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning sauce

Directions

• INSTRUCTIONS
• Fill a large saucepan with water about 3/4 full.
• Finely mince about a heaping 1 tablespoon of the onion; set aside.
• Place remaining onion, garlic, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, salt and black pepper along with chicken into water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Combine the remaining Worcestershire, ketchup, mustard, molasses, maple syrup, vinegar, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Heat canola oil over medium-high heat in a small skillet. Cook the minced onion 2-3 minutes or until begins to soften. Stir in sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly and for flavors to blend. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl and shred meat with two forks, discarding bones and skin. Toss chicken with sauce. Serve immediately over slider buns with your favorite coleslaw.
