Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large sheet pan (or 2 half sheet pans) with parchment paper or foil for easy clean up.
- Cut the slider buns in half. Place the bottoms and the top buns side by side on the sheet pan (or place the bottoms on one prepared pan and place the tops on the second pan).
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Spread the chicken evenly over the bottoms buns.
- Scatter the sliced red onions over the BBQ chicken and top with the slices of cheddar cheese.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic and parsley.
- Brush the garlic butter on the top buns.
- Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top buns are toasted.
- In a large bowl combine the coleslaw and ranch dressing. Mix until evenly combined.
- Remove the trays from the oven. Evenly distribute the coleslaw over the melted cheese. Place the toasted top buns on top.
- Cut into individual sliders, or pull apart and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Reheat
- Reheat
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F on a sheet pan or baking dish covered with foil for about 5-8 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the top buns are toasted. Or microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Storage
- Storage
- Store the cooled sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days (be sure to check the best before date of your cheese and adjust accordingly).
- Make Ahead
- Make Ahead
- Yes! BBQ Chicken sliders are perfect for make ahead. Follow the recipe as per usual to assemble the sliders up to 2 days in advance but do not brush the garlic butter on the buns and do not add the coleslaw. Store covered in the fridge. Just before serving remove the sliders from the fridge. Set the tops to the side and brush with garlic butter. Bake covered with foil at 350°F for 5 – 8 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the top buns are toasted and the meat is warmed through. Then add the coleslaw and put the tops back on.
- Freezing
- Freezing
- I would not recommend freezing. If you have leftovers and would like to freeze them just be sure to remove the coleslaw and then freeze, store in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat per above notes.
