Simple, Yet Ingenious: Chopped BBQ Chicken Sliders

These easy BBQ chicken sliders go along with the “chopped” sandwich trend, but with a delightfully delicious twist that guests are sure to love!

Throw these quick sliders together for parties or other events, as these are super easy and sure to please every time! 

Ingredients:

• One package of King’s Hawaiian Rolls
• Cheese of your choice, I used marbled cheddar 
• Bacon
• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• Paprika 
• Chipotle sauce
• BBQ sauce 
• Mayonnaise

First, prep your lettuce by washing and cutting it for later, cut your package of rolls lengthwise, opening it and leaving two halves to add your chicken and toppings to later. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook your bacon in a frying pan on the stove. For my personal preference, I cut the bacon into pieces with kitchen scissors and pan fried it while the oven pre-heated to warm the sliders in later. 

Cut your chicken into strips, then season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and optionally, a BBQ rub. I used Meat Church’s “Holy Voodoo” seasoning for this recipe. Add it to the pan with the bacon grease and BBQ sauce after transferring the bacon to a separate dish, and fry until cooked through. 

Once the chicken is cooked, chop it up with lettuce and bacon, dicing unevenly until it forms a chopped mixture. Add more BBQ sauce and mayonnaise, as well as a bit of chipotle sauce if desired. 

Spread mayo on the inner layer of each piece of the Hawaiian rolls, then add the chopped mixture and slices of your desired cheese. Put it in the oven once assembled for around 10 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp up the bread.  

Serve desired portions once the sliders are done in the oven. Great for sharing or events due to the cut and serve nature of the meal! It’s a super easy, delicious recipe that you cannot go wrong with - and I cannot wait to

make more chopped sliders in the near future.
