Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 to 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with foil and set it aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss shredded rotisserie chicken with 3/4 cup of barbecue sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with 1/4 cup of ranch dressing.
  • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms together as connected sheets.
  • Place half the provolone slices over the bottom rolls. Spread the barbecue chicken evenly over the cheese, then top it with the coleslaw. Add the remaining provolone over the coleslaw if you want extra cheese.
  • Set the top sheet of rolls in place and press down gently. Brush melted butter evenly over the tops.
  • Transfer the rolls to the baking dish and bake it for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown and starting to crisp.
  • Let the sliders rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • My top tip: Use a mixer to shred the chicken easier and faster.
  • How to store leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. I recommend storing the coleslaw separately if you can to help the sliders from getting soggy.
  • How to reheat leftovers: Heat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F wrapped in foil for about 10-15 minutes or in the air fryer at the same temperature until they're warmed and crispy.
