Ingredients
- 12 slider rolls such as Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- ½ cup BBQ sauce plus more for drizzling
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or pepper jack or Monterey jack
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Keeping the rolls attached together, carefully slice the rolls in half and place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet; set tops aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce.
- Spread the BBQ chicken in an even layer over the bottom halves of the rolls. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce, if desired. Add your desired amount of sliced red onion, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the chicken and onions. Place top buns on sandwiches.
