Ingredients
  

  • 400 g cooked chicken shredded rotisserie or leftover roast
  • 200 ml BBQ sauce your favorite brand
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 120 g cheddar cheese shredded
  • 60 g mozzarella cheese shredded, for extra melt
  • 12 slider rolls soft pull-apart style
  • 30 g butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional, for topping
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped, optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease or line a small baking dish that fits the slider rolls snugly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and saucy.
  • Slice the slider rolls horizontally as a whole slab, keeping the bottoms and tops connected. Place the bottom slab of rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the bottom rolls. Sprinkle the sliced red onion evenly on top, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Place the top slab of rolls over the filling. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with an extra pinch of smoked paprika (optional). Brush the butter over the tops of the rolls and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  • Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 3–5 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and slightly crisp.
  • Let the sliders rest for 3–5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley if using. Cut along the roll lines and serve warm.
