Directions
- Bring a large pot up to a gentle boil by combining broth, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, and the spices; whisk or stir until everything is blended.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, a splash of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper to form a dressing; set it aside.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cover; poach until cooked through, about 12–15 minutes.
- Wash and dry all produce; trim carrot ends, peel and grate the carrots, and trim and slice the green onions into ¼-inch pieces.
- In the dressing bowl, add the grated carrots and sliced onions, then toss to coat.
- Trim the cabbage, halve it lengthwise, then finely shred it and add to the carrot-onion mix; toss until the slaw is well coated.
- When the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and keep the poaching liquid; increase heat to medium-high and stir in ketchup, simmering until the liquid reduces by half and thickens to coat a spoon, about 4–5 minutes.
- Shred the chicken with two forks, then return it to the pot and stir to coat with the sauce.
- Halve the buns crosswise and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet; toast in the oven for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned.
- To serve, place a portion of the chicken on each bottom bun, top with a hearty amount of slaw, cover with the top bun, and serve with any remaining slaw on the side.
Two tips
- Prepare the slaw up to a day ahead and refrigerate the dressing separately for freshness.
- If buns aren’t available, serve the chicken and slaw on their own or with any remaining bread you have on hand.
