Ingredients
  

  • 12 pieces Hawaiian rolls
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 pieces red onion thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • freshly chopped cilantro

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚F. This is the ideal temperature for toasting the rolls and melting the cheese.
  2. Prepare your ingredients by mixing together the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce in a bowl. Make sure the chicken is well-coated in the sauce for maximum flavor. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic salt. This mixture will give your rolls a delicious buttery flavor.
  4. Take the Hawaiian rolls and cut them in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom for each slider. Lay the bottoms in a baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly together.
  5. Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Make sure to cover each roll generously for a satisfying bite.
  6. Next, place the thinly sliced red onion over the chicken layer, followed by the cheddar cheese slices evenly on top. This will ensure every slider has a hint of onion and cheesy goodness.
  7. Top the sliders with the upper halves of the rolls, gently pressing them down to create a compact sandwich.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut between the sandwiches to make individual sliders. This will make serving easier once they’re baked.
  9. Brush the tops of the rolls with the garlic butter mixture, allowing some to run between the rolls. This step is crucial for achieving a golden, crispy top.
  10. Now, bake the sliders in the preheated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them and remove when they’re perfectly golden.
  11. Once done, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired. Serve the sliders warm, and watch them disappear!
