Create crowd-pleasing mini sandwiches with these easy BBQ chicken sliders. Juicy shredded chicken, melted cheese, and a savory garlic butter topping on soft Hawaiian rolls make this a perfect party appetizer or weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup favorite barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Gouda or Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
  3. Slice the package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
  6. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and onion powder to create the garlic butter topping.
  8. Brush the entire top surface of the slider rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  11. Carefully slice the sliders apart between the rolls before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a thin layer of thinly sliced red onion or a spoonful of coleslaw on top of the chicken before adding the cheese.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker method, combine the chicken and BBQ sauce in the crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours, then proceed with assembly and baking.
  • These sliders are excellent served with dill pickle chips on the side.
