- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 C ketchup
- 1 Tb soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder

COLE SLAW:

- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

- In a large deep skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook until translucent. In a separate bowl whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, and ginger.
- To the skillet, add the flour and stir it in. Add the pineapple juice mixture to the skillet and stir. Allow it to come to a simmer while stirring and cook it for 5 minutes.
- Place the chicken in a 3-4 quart crock pot. Pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred with two forks. Add it back to the crock pot and allow it to cook for another 30 minutes.
- To make the coleslaw, stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, ground mustard, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour it over the coleslaw mix and stir to combine.
- Serve the chicken, topped with coleslaw on a nice roll.
