1/2 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or chili garlic paste
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot

3 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 12 thighs)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar

In slow cooker, mix broth, 1/3 cup of the hoisin sauce, the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Sriracha, the gingerroot and 2 teaspoons sesame oil with whisk. Add chicken; toss to coat. Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 to 4 hours.
  • During last 30 minutes of cook time, make coleslaw. In large bowl, beat rice vinegar, sugar, 2 teaspoons Sriracha and 1 teaspoon sesame oil with whisk. Add coleslaw mix; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Remove chicken from slow cooker using slotted spoon. Remove sauce to another bowl. Place chicken on cutting board. Shred chicken using 2 forks, removing any bits of fat.
