Slow-cooker pulled barbecue chicken sliders with chipotle lime mayonnaise

SERVES 8

This is one of my favourite recipes in the whole book. It’s ideal for larger groups and perfect to serve in the slow cooker surrounded by a build-your-own-burger station. And it’s the gift that keeps on giving – use leftovers piled on top of nachos or pizza, alongside slaw or in a grilled cheese toastie.

2 garlic cloves
