Can I use leftover chicken instead of rotisserie?

Absolutely! Just shred it finely and maybe season it a touch for extra oomph.

How do I store leftovers?

Wrap them up in foil or store in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.

Can these be served cold?

Yep! They're delish cold—especially for next-day lunch. Just add the lettuce after baking and let them cool before refrigerating.

Is there a vegetarian version?

You bet. Try grilled mushrooms or jackfruit in place of chicken, and use your favorite plant-based cheese and mayo.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Shred the rotisserie chicken and set aside.
Slice all 12 Hawaiian rolls in half. Place the bottom halves in a casserole dish, side by side.
Spread spicy mayo on the bottom halves of the rolls (and top halves if desired).
Layer half of the pepper jack cheese slices evenly over the mayo.
Spread mashed avocado or layer guacamole/sliced avocado on top of the cheese.
Add shredded chicken evenly across each roll bottom.
Top with sliced pickles and remaining cheese slices.
Place the top halves of the rolls over the filling.
In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, Dijon mustard, and poppyseeds.
Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 3–5 minutes, until golden brown.
Add shredded lettuce after baking for extra crunch.
Serve hot or chilled with extra spicy mayo if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken to save time.
Customize the spice level by using a milder cheese or adding extra hot sauce.
These sliders taste great warm or cold—perfect for meal prep or party trays.
If you prefer, swap the poppyseeds in the butter topping for sesame seeds or omit entirely.
