Instructions
Making BBQ Chicken Sliders is simple and rewarding. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: If you haven’t already, shred your cooked chicken into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.
2. Create Sauce Mixture: Add barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the shredded chicken. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
3. Heat Chicken: Transfer the mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
4. Prepare Buns: While the chicken is heating, split the slider buns in half, forming the tops and bottoms. You can toast them lightly in the oven if desired for extra crunch.
5. Assemble Sliders: Place a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture on each bottom half of the slider buns.
6. Add Toppings: Top the chicken with a handful of coleslaw for crunch and flavor. If you’re using ranch dressing for the coleslaw, drizzle it over the top.
7. Close the Sliders: Place the top halves of the buns over the filled bottoms.
8. Serve Warm: You can serve the sliders warm immediately or, for extra flavor, wrap them in foil and place them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes before serving.
