Chicken Sliders With Bacon and Cheese

by Diana Rattray

Chicken sliders are fun to make and even more fun to eat! Hawaiian rolls are a filled complementary combination of chicken, bacon, and cheese. I use a simple Sriracha mayo combination to add a spicy flavor, and slaw or pickled onions for a tangy topping. If you like a less flavor, use cheddar cheese or cheddar jack instead of the pepper jack cheese.

Ingredients

• Bread: King’s Hawaiian rolls are traditional, but any flat of soft, connected rolls will work in this recipe.
• Bacon: Use thick or regular bacon. I usually cook my bacon in the oven.
• Chicken: Use a rotisserie chicken, poached chicken breast, or shredded chicken.
• Cheese: Pepper jack gives the sliders a little extra zing. Feel free to use plain cheddar cheese, Gruyère, or cheddar jack. Any melty cheese will work in these little sandwiches.
• Spread: Mayonnaise or a combination of mayonnaise and Sriracha (my favorite combo). You could also add garlic powder or sambal to the mayo. For chicken bacon ranch sliders, use ranch dressing!
• Toppings: Slaw or pickled onions are great choices, or you might use pickled peppers or sliced tomatoes.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 flat of connected dinner rolls, such as King’s Hawaiian
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional
• 1 1/2 cups chopped or sliced cooked chicken breast
• 6 strips bacon, cooked and diced or crumbled
• Coleslaw or quick pickled onions, or use store-bought slaw or mild or hot pickled peppers
• 1 cup 4 ounces pepper jack cheese or plain cheddar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter combined with a dash of garlic powder

Instructions

• Heat the oven to 375 F
• Spray a large sheet of heavy-duty foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Carefully slice the rolls in half horizontally.
• Place the bottom of the rolls on the prepared foil and set the top aside. Gently cut almost through the bottoms so they may be separated easily when they’re done.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha, if using. Spread over the rolls.
• Top the mayonnaise with chicken, and then the bacon.
• Top the bacon with about 2 teaspoons of slaw. Alternatively, top the slider squares some pickled onion or chile pepper.
• Sprinkle the pepper jack or cheddar cheese over all.
• Place the top of the rolls over the cheese layer.
• Brush the tops with the melted butter and garlic salt mixture.
• Bring the sides up over the rolls and seal. Crimp the ends together to seal.
• Place the foil package on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Open the top of the foil and continue baking for 5 minutes.
