Key Takeaways
Endless Possibilities for Slider Fillings
Sliders are like miniature flavor bombs, and the possibilities are endless when it comes to filling them. While ham and cheese sliders are perfect for on-the-go meals during your kid’s practice sessions, and Reuben sliders are fantastic for using up leftover roast beef, today we’re focusing on the mouthwatering BBQ chicken sliders. But don’t limit yourself—think pulled pork, chicken Parmesan, Cuban sandwiches, breakfast delights, and even French Dip Sliders. The choice is yours!
The Perfect Chicken for Your Sliders
When it comes to making sliders, using freshly shredded chicken is key. While you can opt for canned or rotisserie chicken if you’re pressed for time, it’s always best to use skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Slow-cook them until they become tender and easily shred with a fork. Trust us, the extra effort will be worth it!
Let’s Get Cooking: BBQ Chicken Sliders
Slider recipes often call for Hawaiian rolls, and this BBQ chicken sliders recipe is no exception. Here’s how you can create a mouthwatering masterpiece:
-
Start by slicing the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise, ensuring you have separate top and bottom buns.
-
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce. Toss it gently, making sure the chicken is coated but not drenched.
- Place the chicken onto the bottom layer of the Hawaiian rolls. Top it off with slices of sharp cheddar cheese for an irresistibly melty finish.
- Close the sliders by adding the top half of the Hawaiian bread. To add that extra “wow” factor, brush the top buns with a savory herbed melted butter. For an even more incredible taste, try adding a quarter teaspoon of Better Than Bullion Beef Broth base, fresh thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Pure perfection!
- Bake the sliders until the cheese has melted and the top turns a beautiful golden brown. For an extra touch, sprinkle sesame seeds or Parmesan cheese on top.
Sides That Complement Your BBQ Chicken Sliders
No slider meal is complete without some delicious sides. Whether you’re serving a crowd or your family, consider these mouthwatering options:
- Wings: Pair your BBQ chicken sliders with Blueberry BBQ Wings, Baked Asian Chicken Wings, or Classic Buffalo Wings for the ultimate flavor experience.
