  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 to 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is perfect)
  • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons mayo or ranch (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice or a small splash of apple cider vinegar
  • 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls work great)
  • 6 to 8 slices cheese (cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, pepper jack)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: sliced pickles, thin red onion, jalapenos, coleslaw

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Mix the filling by stirring together the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, mayo or ranch, and a splash of pickle juice or vinegar.
  3. Prep the slider rolls by slicing the whole slab in half horizontally.
  4. Build the sliders by adding a layer of cheese on the bottom bread, followed by the BBQ chicken mixture.
  5. Butter the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or BBQ seasoning if desired.
  6. Bake covered with foil for about 12 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 5 to 8 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.

Notes

These sliders can be made ahead of time. Assemble and bake when you’re ready, but avoid soaking the buns too long before baking.
