Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 24 Hawaiian rolls
  • 5 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp smoked paprika

Hot Honey Sauce

  • Hot honey sauce (double recipe, approximately ½ cup)

Coleslaw

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a baking pan with nonstick baking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Remove the 24 Hawaiian rolls from the packaging without separating them. Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally, keeping them intact. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking pan, gently pressing them to fit if necessary.
  3. Assemble Sliders – Layer 1: Place 12 slices of provolone cheese evenly on top of the bottom rolls. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with the hot honey sauce until well coated. Spread this hot honey chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Bake the open-faced sliders for 15 minutes without the top rolls.
  4. Add Top Rolls and Butter Glaze: Remove the pan from the oven and place the top half of the rolls over the chicken layer. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Brush this seasoned butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls. Return the sliders to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden and heated through.
  5. Prepare Coleslaw: While the sliders finish baking, mix the shredded coleslaw with coleslaw dressing or ranch dressing in a bowl until evenly combined. Add more dressing if needed to reach desired creaminess.
  6. Serve: When done, carefully remove the top rolls. Spread the dressed coleslaw evenly over the chicken layer, replace the top rolls, and optionally brush with additional seasoned butter for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your hot honey chicken sliders.

Notes

  • You can prepare the hot honey sauce by mixing honey with your choice of hot sauce or chili flakes for the perfect sweet-spicy balance.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor, but you can use cooked shredded chicken breast if preferred.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper amount to control the spice level in the butter glaze.
  • If you prefer a tangier coleslaw, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • These sliders can be assembled a few hours ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
