Hawaiian Chicken Sliders
Sweet, savory, and slightly tangy mini sandwiches packed with juicy shredded chicken, melty cheese, and caramelized pineapple, all hugged by soft Hawaiian rolls.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 8 oz can pineapple rings, drained
- 1 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Taste and add a pinch of salt or pepper if needed.
- Slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish. Spread the saucy chicken evenly over the rolls, then layer pineapple pieces on top. Sprinkle cheese over the pineapple, pressing lightly to help it stick.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer. In a small bowl, whisk melted butter with brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this mixture generously over the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the rolls are golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into individual sliders.
