Description

BBQ Chicken Sliders are deliciously tender shredded chicken coated in smoky barbecue sauce and topped with creamy coleslaw, all sandwiched inside soft slider buns. Ideal for parties, game day, or quick family meals, these sliders combine flavorful BBQ chicken with a delightful texture and a hint of garlic butter on golden baked buns.

Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Slider Assembly

  • 12 slider buns
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved (optional)
  • 1 cup prepared coleslaw

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders evenly.
  2. Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce, mixing well to coat the chicken thoroughly with the smoky sauce.
  3. Assemble the sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish, ensuring they’re close together but not overlapping.
  4. Add chicken and cheese: Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Place halved slices of cheddar cheese on top of the chicken if using, adding a creamy, melty layer.
  5. Top the sliders: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the chicken and cheese layers to complete the sandwiches.
  6. Brush with garlic butter: Mix the melted butter and garlic powder together, then brush this mixture generously over the top buns to promote browning and flavor during baking.
  7. Bake the sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the tops are lightly golden brown.
  8. Add coleslaw and serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, top each with a spoonful of prepared coleslaw if desired, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve the sliders warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient and flavorful option for shredded chicken.
