Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken grilled, shredded, or pulled
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce your choice of sweet, tangy, or spicy
  • 12 slider buns brioche, whole wheat, or pretzel
  • ½ cup pickles optional
  • 1 cup coleslaw optional
  • 4 slices of cheese optional, cheddar or American

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: If using grilled or pulled chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with your BBQ sauce until fully coated.
  • Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns in a skillet or on a grill for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. This helps the buns hold up better to the saucy chicken.
  • Assemble the Sliders: Place a generous spoonful of BBQ chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Add cheese slices if desired and melt slightly by placing the assembled sliders under a broiler for 1-2 minutes.
  • Customize Your Sliders: Add your preferred toppings, such as pickles or coleslaw, for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Close the sliders with the top bun and serve immediately. Pair with classic side dishes like potato chips, coleslaw, or baked beans for a full meal.
