Ingredients
In the spirit of keeping things simple and accessible, here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delicious sliders:
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 1 whole chicken)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 8 slices of provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can substitute the provolone with mozzarella for a milder taste or add a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick, reminiscent of the bold flavors I grew up with.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves in the prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with the barbecue sauce until well coated. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Layer the provolone slices over the chicken. Top with the remaining roll halves.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing into individual sliders. Serve warm and enjoy!
As you bake these sliders, let the aromas transport you to a place of culinary comfort, just like the cozy kitchen memories I cherish from my childhood.
