Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and BBQ Sauce

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)

Coleslaw

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sliders

  • 8 slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with barbecue sauce until fully coated and mixed well.
  2. Make the Coleslaw: In another bowl, mix shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated and set aside.
  3. Toast the Slider Buns: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the insides of the slider buns with melted butter and place them on the skillet, toasting until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Top each with a spoonful of homemade coleslaw, then cover with the top bun halves.
  5. Serve: Arrange the BBQ Chicken Sliders on a platter and serve immediately while warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy option.
  • Adjust barbecue sauce quantity according to taste preference—more for saucier sliders, less for a drier fill.
  • For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the BBQ chicken mixture.
  • To keep sliders warm before serving, tent with foil and place in a low oven (about 200°F) for up to 15 minutes.
  • Slider buns can be substituted with Hawaiian rolls for a sweeter option.
