Ingredients

  • 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls (slider size)
  • 3 pepper jack cheese slices
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced & pickled (separate recipe, or pre-packaged)
  • 3 cups chicken, shredded & cooked (approx. 3 breasts or 1 medium rotisserie)
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce + extra to drizzle
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Slice rolls horizontally, unless they are pre-sliced.
  3. Place the bottom half of the rolls on a non-stick baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
  4. Cut each slice of cheese into 4 squares (12 small squares total), then place over each slider as the first layer.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the shredded cooked chicken & BBQ sauce to coat evenly. Add overtop of the cheese squares to create the second layer.
  6. Drizzle with some extra BBQ sauce for added flavor.
  7. Add the drained pickled onions overtop of the chicken (see separate recipe for how to make pickled onions, or purchase pre-packaged).
  8. Place the other half of the sliced rolls overtop, creating sandwiches.
  9. Brush the top of the rolls with melted butter.
  10. Place in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until cheese is melted and rolls are golden brown.
  11. Use a serrated knife and cut slowly to separate each slider

Tips

  • Place in the refrigerator for future use.
  • Dairy free cheeses & butter can be used.
