    These Shredded Rotisserie Chicken Sliders could not be easier or more delicious. They’re made by layering spicy mayo, shredded chicken, cheese, onion, pickles, and tomatoes. They’re then topped with an out-of-this-world herb garlic butter and baked to perfection. These toppings are a fun approach that’s a bit different than the classic BBQ chicken sliders or buffalo chicken sliders.

    Ingredients

    A bunch of store bought ingredients come together to make these absolutely astounding easy shredded chicken sliders. They are also relatively customizable so it's a great way to use up leftover produce that's nearing its end in the fridge. 

    Ingredients needed for rotisserie chicken sliders.
    • Kings Hawaiian rolls: One package of the standard size original sweet Hawaiian rolls. These rolls are a little sweet and so buttery, they’re so good and perfect slider buns.
    • Rotisserie chicken: A simple store-bought rotisserie chicken. You could also use any other leftover chicken, just shred it up. This is a great way to reinvigorate leftover chicken breasts or chicken thighs. 
    • Chipotle mayo: Grab a chipotle mayo / spicy mayo / sriracha mayo at your grocery store - anything in this realm will be great. You could also make it yourself by combining mayo and a hot sauce such as sriracha. Start 50/50 then adjust to taste.  
    • Cheese: I used smoked provolone cheese, but any cheese that melts well would be great here. Regular provolone, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, monterey jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, swiss cheese, etc. You could do slices of cheese or shredded cheese. 
    • Pickles: Sliced rounds are ideal shape wise for this recipe, but flavor wise, use your favorite! Bread and butter pickles would be great, and I used horseradish pickles for a  little extra kick. 
    • Onion: Thinly sliced red onions. Yellow onion is also fine. 
    • Tomatoes: One big beefsteak or heirloom tomato sliced thinly. 
    • Butter: Unsalted butter is ideal. If you only have salted, just omit the added salt. 
    • Garlic: Minced pretty finely or grated. Garlic powder is also fine if need be. 
    • Parsley: Fresh parsley is ideal but dried also works. 2 tablespoon fresh parsley = 2 teaspoon dried parsley. Italian seasoning would also be fine. 

    Step by step instructions

    This recipe is really all about assembly - so perfect for hosting a crowd, game day, or even an easy dinner. Plus, you’ll have some great leftovers. 

    1. Cut the bread. Using a serrated knife, cut the Kings Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise. Place in a baking dish

    2. Add spicy mayo. Spread an even layer of spicy mayo on the bottom half of the bread. 

    Slicing the bread and adding the spicy mayo.

    3. Add the chicken. Scatter the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the top of the spicy mayo.

    4. Add the cheese. Place the sliced cheese on top of the chicken.

    Adding shredded chicken and cheese.

    5. Add the rest of the toppings. Layer on the sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickles.

    6. Make the butter mixture. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, grated garlic, fresh chopped parsley, and salt. 

    Adding the remaining toppings and making garlic butter.

    7. Top the rolls. Put the top half of the rolls on. Then spread the garlic butter evenly on top of the rolls using a pastry brush.

    8. Bake! Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes covered, and then 5 minutes uncovered until golden brown.

    Tips and tricks

    Tips, tricks, and some customizations can be found below for these rotisserie chicken Hawaiian sliders! 

    • Tips to shred chicken easily – you could classically use two forks or your fingers, but if you have a hand mixer or stand mixer that also works really well. 
    • The order of the toppings ultimately doesn’t matter, I just find the sliders are easier to handle in the order that I’ve outlined above. 
    • If you’re planning ahead, experiment with using homemade pickles! 
    • If rotisserie chicken isn’t your thing, some sliced meats would also be great on here. Roast beef, prosciutto, ham, salami, etc. 
    • This recipe easily doubles if you’re serving a large crowd. 
    • I don't think it needs it, but if you're so inclined, mix the rotisserie chicken with your favorite bbq sauce or buffalo sauce. 
    • Add some poppy seeds to the garlic butter mixture if you like that look.

    Sides for chicken sliders 

    These rotisserie chicken sliders are quite filling, but if you’re serving a crowd, the whole family, or any other situation in which you're using them for a complete meal, below are some other dishes that are great to serve alongside. 

    • Go on the lighter side with a salad - caesar salad or arugula salad
    • Some snackable items such as mango habanero salsa 
    • Another carby item such as these puff pastry spinach and ricotta pinwheels 
    • Add a veggie like these honey sriracha brussels sprouts 

    Storage and reheating

    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
    • Reheat in the oven at 350°F covered for 10-15 minutes.

    FAQs

    Is rotisserie chicken healthy?

    Rotisserie chicken is a healthier option to some other methods of cooking. However, when you buy store-bought, it’s hard to regulate just how healthy it is. 

    Is the slider the same thing as a burger?

    Sliders are mini burgers aka a cute little mini sandwiches. 

    Can I prep these in advance? 

    Yes, they can be prepped 1 day in advance. Store covered in the fridge. The next day take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before you are going to bake them, then bake as instructed.

      These are so good! I left off the tomatoes because I knew I was wrapping them up to go as leftovers, and didn't want them to be soggy.

        Yay glad you liked them! Smart to leave out the tomatoes if you're eating them later!
