# Ingredients:
→ Slider Base
01 -
1 package (12 count) Hawaiian dinner rolls
02 -
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
03 -
1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce
→ Toppings
04 -
8 strips bacon, cooked and halved
05 -
1 cup shredded fiesta blend cheese
→ Finishing Touch
06 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
07 -
2 teaspoons BBQ seasoning
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
Remove Hawaiian rolls from package, keeping them connected. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally to create one large top piece and one large bottom piece. Set aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, stirring until the chicken is well coated and saucy. Taste and add more BBQ sauce if you like it extra saucy.
04 -
Place the bottom half of the rolls on your prepared baking sheet. Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly across the surface. Layer the bacon pieces over the chicken, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.
05 -
Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle BBQ seasoning evenly over the surface for extra flavor and color.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the tops are golden brown. The rolls should be heated through and slightly crispy on top.
07 -
Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut along the original roll lines to separate into individual sliders. Serve warm and enjoy!
# Notes:
