Prepare the chicken and the components for the slaw up to a day ahead. Dress the celery just before serving so the slaw doesn't get too watery.
Instructions
For the sliders, combine onion powder, granulated garlic, and celery salt; sprinkle over chicken.
Sear chicken in oil, in 3 batches, in a sauté pan over high heat until browned on both sides, adding more oil as necessary, about 20 minutes total. Transfer chicken to an 8-qt. slow cooker.
Sweat onions, carrot, and celery in 1 Tbsp. butter in same pan over medium heat until softened, 3–4 minutes. Deglaze pan with broth, scraping up any brown bits. Transfer mixture to slow cooker and pour 1⁄2 cup hot sauce over the top.
Cover slow cooker and cook chicken until fork-tender on high setting, about 2 hours. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred. Strain liquids from slow cooker; discard solids. Return chicken and strained liquid to slow cooker.
Melt 4 Tbsp. butter and remaining 1⁄2 cup hot sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; stir into slow cooker. Set slow cooker to warm and heat chicken 30 minutes more; season with salt and pepper.
For the slaw, process mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, vinegar, Worcestershire, and Dijon in a food processor until smooth.
Toss celery and parsley with dressing just before serving.
Serve chicken on buns topped with slaw.
