BBQ Chicken Sliders are the perfect combination of tender, juicy chicken smothered in a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce, served on soft, toasted slider buns. These bite-sized sandwiches are a great option for casual gatherings, game day snacks, or even a quick dinner. The sliders are topped with a crunchy coleslaw that adds a refreshing contrast to the rich barbecue flavor, making each bite a delightful balance of savory and fresh. They’re easy to make and sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any event.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 12 slider buns
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Heat for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is warmed through.
- Toast the Slider Buns: Split the slider buns in half and brush the cut sides with melted butter. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up, and toast in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Make the Coleslaw: In a small bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sliders: On the bottom half of each slider bun, place a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture. Top with a small amount of the coleslaw and a few pickle slices, if desired.
- Serve: Place the top half of the slider buns on each sandwich and serve warm.
Enjoy your flavorful BBQ Chicken Sliders!
