Ingredients

Scale

Slider Base

  • 24 Hawaiian rolls
  • 12 slices provolone cheese

Filling

  • 5 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • Hot honey sauce (double recipe, approximately 1 cup)

Butter Seasoning

  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp smoked paprika

Coleslaw

  • 4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup coleslaw dressing or ranch dressing (plus more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick baking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare rolls: Without separating the rolls, use a long serrated knife to carefully slice the entire set of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls intact. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared pan, pressing gently to fit if necessary.
  3. Layer cheese and chicken: Arrange the provolone cheese slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. In a bowl, toss the shredded rotisserie chicken with the prepared hot honey sauce until fully coated. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes to melt the cheese and warm the chicken.
  4. Add tops and butter seasoning: After baking, carefully place the top halves of the rolls over the chicken layer. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, cayenne, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Brush this seasoned butter evenly over the tops of the rolls. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden and crisp.
  5. Prepare coleslaw and serve: While the sliders finish baking, mix the shredded coleslaw with the coleslaw or ranch dressing, adding more dressing if needed to reach desired creaminess. Once the sliders are done, remove the top rolls carefully, spread the coleslaw evenly over the chicken, then replace the tops. Optionally, brush the tops again with additional butter mixture. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Hawaiian rolls for a soft, slightly sweet slider bun. Regular slider buns can be substituted but will alter flavor and texture.
  • The hot honey sauce can be store-bought or homemade by mixing honey with hot sauce or chili flakes.
  • For extra spice, increase the cayenne or add a dash of hot sauce to the butter mixture.
  • Allow sliders to rest a couple of minutes after baking to set before slicing for serving.
  • Coleslaw can be made in advance and refrigerated; add just before serving for best texture.
