Baked BBQ chicken sliders
Baked BBQ chicken sliders are full of tangy BBQ coated shredded chicken and melty cheese and brushed with butter for a soft, delicious easy family meal or game day eats.
Yield: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 12- count package Hawaiian sweet slider rolls
- 2 to 2 ½ cups shredded chicken (see notes)
- ⅔ cup BBQ sauce
- 6 slices, about ¼-inch thick, of Cooper® Sharp Yellow Pasteurized Process American Cheese or white (see notes)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce and mix until all of the chicken is well coated.
- Use a bread knife to cut the rolls in half horizontally and remove the top. Place the bottom of the rolls on a baking pan. (You can line it with foil for easy clean-up.)
- Add the BBQ chicken to the rolls in an even layer to cover all of the sliders.
- Top the chicken with the slices of Cooper® cheese. Place the tops of the slider rolls on top and press down.
- Combine the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the slider rolls with the melted butter. Cover the baking dish with foil.
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until warmed through and cheese is melted.

Notes
Chicken: You’ll need cooked chicken for this recipe, so please plan accordingly. You can use a rotisserie chicken from the store or some slow cooker or Instant Pot shredded chicken.
BBQ sauce: Feel free to choose your favorite brand of BBQ sauce or make your own.
Cheese: I did large slices of cheese on top of the chicken to melt down over everything. However, you could use 2 cups of shredded cheese.
Add-ins: Sliced red onions, chopped green onions, a pickle on each roll, cooked pieces of bacon. Or serve this with some coleslaw in the sliders or alongside.
Leftovers: Leftover chicken sliders can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat in the microwave, but they will lose any of the crust they developed while baking and will be soft all the way through. (Not a bad thing!) Or reheat a few sliders in a toaster oven or regular oven. Just make sure to allow enough time for them to warm through all the way.
