Maple Chicken Bacon Slider Ingredients
Use exactly 12 Hawaiian slider rolls and exactly 12 cooked chicken strips so each finished slider receives one strip. Keep the connected rolls intact until assembly.
Add 4 slices Gouda cheese, 4–6 cooked bacon slices, and ¼ cup maple butter. Some maple butter goes inside the rolls and a final brushing over the top gives the baked slab its glossy sweet finish.
