BBQ Chicken Sliders
Description
This recipe combines cooked shredded chicken with barbecue sauce to create a flavorful filling for slider sandwiches. The filling is warmed and spread evenly over the bottoms of Hawaiian sweet rolls, which are then topped with slices of sharp cheddar cheese. The tops of the rolls are placed back on to form sandwiches.
A melt-in-the-pan butter mixture made from melted salted butter, beef broth base, fresh thyme sprigs, and grated Parmesan cheese is brushed over the tops of the sliders. Baking the assembled sliders at moderate oven temperature allows the cheese to melt and the buns to absorb the flavorful butter, creating a savory crust and soft interior.
The sliders are arranged on a baking sheet or dish lined with foil for easy cleanup. These sandwiches serve well for crowd-pleasing appetizers or casual meals, combining sweet, tangy BBQ chicken with creamy cheese and herb-buttered rolls.
The estimated calorie count is based on 12 sliders with one slider as a serving; nutritional values may vary depending on ingredient brands. For precise nutrition, use a calculator with the exact ingredients used.
