- 1
Stir the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together. Pat the chicken thighs dry, cut any large ones in half, and rub the seasoning over both sides.
- 2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook 5–7 minutes per side, turning when the underside is browned. The thickest piece should reach 165°F.
- 3
Take the skillet off the heat and brush the chicken with barbecue sauce on both sides. Let it rest for 3 minutes so the juices settle.
- 4
While the chicken rests, toss the coleslaw mix and green onions with the ranch dressing. Stop when the cabbage is coated but still crisp.
- 5
Place one chicken piece on each bun and pile on the ranch slaw. Add another thin swipe of barbecue sauce if you like a saucier sandwich.
