Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your grocery list—nothing fancy, but oh so effective.

• 12 Hawaiian rolls
• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• 12 slices pepper jack cheese (melty + a little kick!)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup sliced pickles
• ½ cup spicy mayo (hello, flavor bomb)
• ¼ cup mashed avocado, guacamole, or sliced avocado
• 1 tbsp softened butter

For the buttery topping:

• 1 tbsp melted butter
• ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp poppyseeds

How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Hawaiian Sliders

Step-by-Step Directions (Don’t Blink, It’s That Easy)

1. Preheat that oven to 350°F. The goal: warm, melty perfection.
2. Shred your chicken. Remove from bone and ditch the skin. Use pre-shredded if you’re in “I need dinner NOW” mode.
3. Slice all your rolls in half (like a little sandwich factory) and lay the bottoms in a casserole dish, side by side.
4. Slather spicy mayo on the bottom buns. Bonus mayo layer on top buns if you’re a saucy queen.
5. Layer HALF the cheese slices over the mayo—tear to fit if needed.
6. Spread mashed avocado or layer on guacamole or slices—whatever’s on hand. No avocado stress here.
7. Add your chicken. Finer shreds work best so you don’t end up with a mouthful of meat in just one bite.
8. Top with pickles and the rest of the cheese. Optional: more spicy mayo (you wild thing).
9. Cap those babies with the roll tops.
10. Mix butter, mustard, and poppyseeds. Brush over tops. Yes, it will smell like a dream.
11. Cover with foil and bake 20–25 minutes (you want melty cheese). Uncover and bake 3–5 more minutes until golden and toasty on top.

Let them cool slightly (good luck waiting), then add fresh lettuce for that satisfying crunch. Serve hot, chilled, or straight out of the pan if no one’s looking.

Aneta’s Little Tip

Okay, real talk: I once made these for a girls’ night in, and let’s just say no one remembered to bring dessert. Not because they forgot, but because everyone had seconds (and thirds) of these sliders and we were officially full, happy, and craving nap time.

Tips to Make Your Sliders Next-Level

• Make Ahead: Assemble everything but the lettuce ahead of time. Pop in the oven just before guests arrive.
• Kid-Friendly: Swap pepper jack for mozzarella or cheddar for milder palates.
• No spicy mayo? Mix mayo with a little sriracha or hot sauce to taste. Or go rogue with ranch dressing—no judgment.
• Don’t skip the butter topping! It’s the finishing touch that makes everything golden and bakery-style.
