Ingredients
Scale
BBQ Chicken
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Coleslaw
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Additional
- 12 slider buns
Instructions
- Mix BBQ Chicken: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until the chicken is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Prepare Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create a creamy and tangy slaw topping.
- Toast Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns either in a toaster or on a pan to add a slight crunch and warm up the bread.
- Assemble Sliders: Place a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted slider bun.
- Add Coleslaw: Top the BBQ chicken with a spoonful of the freshly prepared coleslaw mix for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Cover with the top half of the bun and serve the sliders immediately while the buns are warm and the flavors fresh.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded chicken from roasted or rotisserie chicken for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your taste preference—add more for a saucier slider or less for a lighter coating.
- For a healthier twist, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the coleslaw mix.
- To keep sliders warm before serving, place them in a low oven (around 200°F) covered with foil.
- These sliders are great for entertaining and can be easily doubled for larger crowds.
