Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup barbeque sauce
- 12 slider buns
- 1/2 cup coleslaw
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for warming the slider buns.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with barbeque sauce and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and has a spicy flavor profile.
- Slice the slider buns horizontally and lightly toast them in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly crisp and golden around the edges.
- Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
- Spoon the spicy barbeque chicken mixture generously onto the bottom half of each slider bun.
- Top each slider with a small portion of coleslaw, adding a creamy and crunchy texture to complement the spicy chicken.
- Place the top half of the bun over the chicken and coleslaw to complete each slider.
- Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately while still warm.
Tips
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for an even faster preparation time.
- For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce to the barbeque mixture or sprinkle some red pepper flakes.
- Make sure to toast the buns lightly to prevent them from getting soggy from the sauce.
- Prepare the chicken mixture in advance and refrigerate to let the flavors meld together.
- For a homemade touch, consider making your own coleslaw or barbeque sauce.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce the cayenne pepper or omit it entirely.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect temperature and texture of these sliders.
