Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 24 Hawaiian rolls
  • 5 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 12 slices provolone cheese

Hot Honey Sauce

  • A double recipe of hot honey sauce (recipe not specified, assumed prepared or purchased)

Butter Seasoning

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp smoked paprika

Coleslaw

  • 4 cups shredded coleslaw
  • ½ cup coleslaw dressing or ranch dressing (plus more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Sliders: Without separating, carefully cut the bundle of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally using a long serrated knife, ensuring the halves stay intact. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared pan, pressing gently to fit.
  3. Assemble Cheese and Chicken: Layer all the provolone cheese slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Mix the shredded rotisserie chicken thoroughly with the hot honey sauce, then spread this mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Bake uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes to melt the cheese and warm the chicken mixture.
  4. Add Tops and Butter Seasoning: Place the top halves of the rolls onto the chicken layer. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with cayenne, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Brush this seasoned butter generously over the tops of the rolls. Return the sliders to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden and the sliders are heated through.
  5. Prepare Coleslaw: While the sliders finish baking, mix the shredded coleslaw with coleslaw dressing or ranch dressing until well coated. Adjust seasoning or dressing quantity if needed for desired creaminess.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and carefully lift the top buns. Spoon the creamy coleslaw evenly over the chicken layer, then replace the tops. Optionally, brush with additional butter seasoning for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your hot honey chicken sliders!
