Description
Delicious shredded rotisserie chicken coated in barbecue sauce, topped with a creamy slaw, and served on soft slider rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken (about 3–4 cups shredded), skin and bones removed
- 12 slider buns (soft Hawaiian rolls or classic dinner rolls)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (choose your favorite—smoky, sweet, or spicy)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup coleslaw mix (pre-shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: sliced dill pickles, shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Remove skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Warm the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and barbecue sauce, stirring until heated through, about 3–4 minutes.
- Toast the buns: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low. Toast slider bun halves cut-side down until golden, about 1–2 minutes.
- Assemble: Spoon sauced chicken onto each bun bottom, top with slaw and any optional toppings, then cap with the top bun. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you want lower sugar, use a reduced-sugar barbecue sauce. For dairy-free slaw, substitute plain dairy-free yogurt or extra mayo.
