Rotisserie Chicken Hawaiian Sliders
Description
This recipe starts by shredding rotisserie chicken, which offers convenience and a tender, flavorful protein. Hawaiian rolls provide a soft, slightly sweet base, which contrasts with the spicy mayonnaise made from mayonnaise and sriracha. Pepper jack cheese adds mild heat and creaminess, while sliced pickles contribute acidity and crunch. Avocado or guacamole brings a creamy, fresh layer.
The sliders are assembled with a butter sauce brushed on top consisting of melted butter, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds, which adds a savory aroma and subtle tang. Cheese is layered on both the bottom and top of the buns to act as a glue, ensuring the sliders hold together well once baked. Baking at 350°F melts the cheese and warms the sandwich through, softening the roll slightly while keeping the filling moist.
Covering the sliders during baking is important to prevent the rolls from drying out. The final product is a balanced mix of creamy, spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors with varied textures, perfect for parties or casual meals.
Spicy mayonnaise can be customized by adjusting the ratio of sriracha to mayonnaise depending on desired heat level. Using pre-shredded rotisserie chicken speeds up preparation. Ensure the casserole dish is covered with foil or a lid to keep the rolls soft while baking.
Ingredients
- 12 hawaiian rolls
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
- 12 lices pepper jack cheese
- 1 cup lettuce shredded
- ½ cup pickles sliced
- ½ cup mayonnaise spicy
- ¼ cup avocado or guacamole, or sliced avocado, mashed
- 1 tbsp butter softened
Butter Sauce
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the rotisserie chicken by removing all of the chicken from the bone and peeling off the skin. If you’d like an even quicker prep you can buy already disassembled rotisserie chicken.
- Cut all of the Hawaiian rolls in half and layer the bottoms of the rolls in a casserole dish side by side.
- Spread the spicy mayo across the bottom of the buns (you can do this to the top bun, too if you really like mayo!).
- Layer HALF of the cheese next. Try not to have too many pieces over lap. Tear pieces if needed to fit the size of the buns.
- Spread mashed avocado on top of the cheese in an even layer. You can instead use avocado slices or guacamole here, too.
- Then add the shredded rotisserie chicken to each bun (finely shredded chicken is better for equal coverage across the slider. So if you need to use your hands to separate the larger chunks at this point).
- Top with pickles and then the remaining cheese slices. Add any additional spicy mayo or sauce here if you'd like.
- Place the top of the roll. In a small bowl, melt butter. Add poppyseeds and mustard to the bowl. Stir. Use a food brush to spread the butter mixture on the top of the rolls.
- Cover your baking dish with tinfoil and bake for 20-25 minutes, when the cheese is nice and melty. Then, remove the tinfoil, and allow for another 3-5 minutes of baking to get a golden top on your sliders.
- Serve hot — or chilled. You can sneak the fresh lettuce onto the buns after cooking for that good crunch factor. Serve with extra dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cover sliders with foil or an oven-safe lid during baking to prevent the rolls from drying out.
- Add cheese to both top and bottom buns; it melts to hold the sliders together.
- Customize spicy mayonnaise by mixing two parts mayonnaise to one part sriracha, adjusting to taste.
- Using pre-shredded rotisserie chicken saves preparation time.
