Simple and fast BBQ chicken sliders packed with tender shredded chicken and sweet-smoky sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups BBQ sauce
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (optional)
  • 12 dill pickle chips (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sesame or poppy seeds (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Warm in a skillet for 2–3 minutes to thicken the sauce a bit.
  3. Without separating individual rolls, slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom slab in the pan.
  4. Layer cheese (if using) over the bottoms. Spoon the BBQ chicken evenly on top. Add pickles if you like.
  5. Set the top slab of buns over the chicken. Mix melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and seeds. Brush the tops.
  6. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake 3–5 more minutes, until the tops are golden.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice along the roll lines. Toss the coleslaw mix with mayo, vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add a spoonful of slaw to each slider and serve warm.

Notes

For crisp bottoms, toast the bottom slab in the oven 3–4 minutes before filling. Store slaw separately to keep it crisp.
