Instructions

Place the boneless chicken breasts in your slow cooker and pour cola over chicken. Cook on High heat for approximately 3 hours, ensuring chicken reaches an internal temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, vinaigrette, brown sugar, honey, teriyaki marinade, and cardamom until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate mixture until needed.
After 3 hours, carefully remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid; discard the remaining liquid.
Return the shredded chicken and the reserved 1/2 cup of cooking liquid back to the slow cooker. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Add the chilled barbecue sauce mixture and gently fold it into the chicken. Continue cooking for an additional hour.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on hamburger buns. Generously fill each bun with the flavorful pulled chicken and barbecue sauce mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
