Equipment

  • Casserole dish
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Tin foil

Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 12 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • ½ cup pickles sliced
  • ½ cup spicy mayo
  • ¼ cup mashed avocado or guacamole, or sliced avocado
  • 1 tbsp butter softened

Butter Sauce

  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • ½ tbsp dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp poppyseeds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the rotisserie chicken by removing all of the chicken from the bone and peeling off the skin. If you’d like an even quicker prep you can buy already disassembled rotisserie chicken.
  • Cut all of the Hawaiian rolls in half and layer the bottoms of the rolls in a casserole dish side by side.
  • Spread the spicy mayo across the bottom of the buns (you can do this to the top bun, too if you really like mayo!).
  • Layer HALF of the cheese next. Try not to have too many pieces over lap. Tear pieces if needed to fit the size of the buns.

  • Spread mashed avocado on top of the cheese in an even layer. You can instead use avocado slices or guacamole here, too.
  • Then add the shredded rotisserie chicken to each bun (finely shredded chicken is better for equal coverage across the slider. So if you need to use your hands to separate the larger chunks at this point).
  • Top with pickles and then the remaining cheese slices. Add any additional spicy mayo or sauce here if you'd like.

  • Place the top of the roll. In a small bowl, melt butter. Add poppyseeds and mustard to the bowl. Stir. Use a food brush to spread the butter mixture on the top of the rolls.
  • Cover your baking dish with tinfoil and bake for 20-25 minutes, when the cheese is nice and melty. Then, remove the tinfoil, and allow for another 3-5 minutes of baking to get a golden top on your sliders.
  • Serve hot — or chilled. You can sneak the fresh lettuce onto the buns after cooking for that good crunch factor. Serve with extra dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

You definitely need to cover your rolls before baking! Otherwise they will dry out and who likes stale bread? If you do not have tinfoil, you can use a lid to the casserole dish. Just ensure it’s oven safe.
Add cheese to both the top AND the bottom of the sliders. It'll melt and act as the glue hold your sandwich together.
For DIY spicy mayo, it's 2:1 ratio of mayo to sriracha. Tweak depending on your level of spice.
