Ingredients + Substitutions
- Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – The tender texture and sweet taste of Hawaiian rolls are perfect for this recipe. If you can’t find them, regular dinner rolls or slider buns will work just as well.
- Shredded Chicken – Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken is my go-to for quick preparation. You can also use leftover chicken or cook your own using various methods.
- Provolone Cheese – While provolone is ideal for its meltiness, feel free to swap it with other cheeses like mozzarella, Colby jack, or cheddar.
- Honey Mustard Glaze – An effortless glaze made with butter, dijon mustard, honey, poppy seeds, and salt.
### Recipe Tips
1. **Cut between the rolls:** Using a serrated knife, cut between the rolls before adding the glaze. This allows the glaze to penetrate, enhancing the taste.
2. **Whisk the glaze well:** Ensure the glaze is smooth for a balanced sweet and spicy flavor in every bite.
3. **Prevent browning:** If the tops of the rolls brown too quickly, cover the baking dish with foil until the cheese fully melts.
4. **Serve hot:** These Hawaiian rolls chicken sliders are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for a melty and soft texture.
5. **Experiment with flavors:** Customize the recipe by seasoning the chicken differently, using various sauces, cheeses, or glazes, adding extra seasonings, or incorporating sliced onions into the sandwiches.
6. **Doubling the recipe:** Use a 9×13″ baking pan to make 24 sliders when doubling the ingredients.
### Recipe Short Cuts
– **Use rotisserie chicken:** Starting with rotisserie chicken saves time and effort.
– **Bake in advance:** While best served fresh, you can bake the sliders ahead of time and reheat them when ready to serve.
### Recipe Variations
– **Buffalo Chicken Sliders:** Swap rotisserie chicken for crockpot buffalo chicken for a spicy twist.
– **Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders:** Add cooked bacon slices and a drizzle of Ranch dressing to the sliders.
– **Barbeque Chicken Sliders:** Coat shredded rotisserie chicken with BBQ sauce or use baked BBQ chicken drumstick shreds.
### Freezer Meal Instructions
1. Assemble the sliders as instructed but omit the glaze.
2. Wrap the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and foil, then store it in the freezer.
3. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the fridge, add the glaze, and bake as directed.
