Season with 1-1/2 ts kosher salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender, 4 to 5 hours. (The chicken will keep well on warm for another 3 hours.) At any time before serving, combine the honey with the remaining 1 ts red-pepper flakes and 1/2 ts garlic powder in a liquid measuring cup or a small bowl. Cover and reserve at room temperature until the chicken is done. Using two forks, finely shred the chicken with its cooking liquid. Pour in the spiced honey and the cider vinegar and toss to coat. Taste; it may need a little more salt, to sharpen the flavor. Also add more red-pepper flakes and vinegar, if you like. In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, mayonnaise, scallions, and lemon juice; season the slaw to taste with salt and pepper. Toast the buns, then spread with mayonnaise and a few shakes of hot sauce. Mound the chicken on the bottom buns and top with the slaw.
