These easy Hawaiian Chicken Sliders are perfect for game day or any day. Thanks to rotisserie chicken or leftover shredded chicken they come together quickly!
I’ve been sharing lots of delicious game day recipes this week because someone told me there is a big game coming up! Today’s recipe is perfect for game day but is a crowd pleaser no matter when you serve it. It is the perfect meal to make anytime you have extra chicken leftover. It also makes for yummy party food. Because of it’s size, it works as an appetizer or as the main meal if you eat more than one.
What is a slider?
- Basically, it is a small hamburger or sandwich, usually about 2 inch across, made with a bun.
How to make Hawaiian Chicken Sliders
For these Hawaiian Chicken Sliders, I use the King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls that you can find in most grocery stores. They are a sweet, soft roll and it works perfect. You can use any kind of slider roll though, you just want it to be a nice soft roll.
After slicing them in half, lay the bottoms in a 9 x 13 pan. Combine your shredded with chicken with the BBQ sauce and layer the chicken mixture, red onions, pineapple and cheese on top.
Spread the bottom of the top part of the roll with the yummy lime cilantro mayo mixture. This adds lots of extra yummy flavor.
Add the top of the roll and then drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with minced onion, poppy seeds and Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for about 30 minutes. You want the cheese nice and melted. These are soft and gooey and a little messy to eat but so worth it, just have some extra napkins on hand!
I love to make up a big batch of shredded chicken and then freeze it so I can pull it out whenever a craving for these Hawaiian Chicken Sliders hit. I like to do my shredded chicken in the Instant Pot or in the slow cooker. You will need about 3-4 cups of chicken to make 12 sliders. You can make your BBQ sauce from scratch using the recipe below or use your favorite bottled BBQ sauce too.
