Ingredients
- 🐓 2 cups shredded chicken (cooked, boneless)
- 🍯 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 🧈 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls recommended)
- 🥗 1 cup coleslaw (optional, for topping)
- 🧀 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional, quartered)
- 🥒 1/4 cup dill pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Shred cooked chicken (boiled, baked, or grilled). Toss it with warmed BBQ sauce in a skillet over medium heat until fully coated and heated through.
- Prepare the buns: Lightly butter and toast the insides of slider buns on a skillet or in the oven.
- Assemble sliders: Layer the BBQ chicken onto the bottom bun, add optional cheese, coleslaw, or pickles, then top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately: Arrange on a platter, and watch them disappear at your gathering!
Notes
- For an extra smoky flavor, you can grill the chicken instead of cooking it in a skillet.
Use your favorite type of BBQ sauce for a personalized touch.
To make this recipe vegetarian, substitute the chicken with grilled portobello mushrooms or tofu.
You can prepare the coleslaw ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
