4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1 1/3 cups barbecue sauce |
1 cup water |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
10 (1.9-ounce) hamburger buns |
2 1/2 cups crunchy, creamy coleslaw |
hot pepper sauce (optional) |

3. Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto bottom half of each bun. Top each serving with 1/4 cup Crunchy, Creamy Coleslaw. Cover with bun tops. Serve with hot pepper sauce, if desired.
