Slow cooker beer chicken sliders

Chicken second courses

I have always been completely tempted and so far not brave enough to make beer can chicken. You know, the kind where you place a partially full can of beer inside a chicken's, um, cavity, and then roast the whole thing on the grill? I hear tell that it makes a lovely, tender, aromatic chicken, but I can't seem to escape the thought of the chicken exploding out of my grill and into the neighbor's yard, propelled by the vapors of a can of Bud Lite, ruining my reputation as a food blogger for all eternity. But since the whole idea of chicken and beer has me mesmerized, I took the coward's way out and came up with a way that involves chicken, beer, a few onions, bbq sauce a slow cooker and not much else. And dang if it wasn't delectable!
