Ingredients

12 Hawaiian rolls
2 heaping cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
4 ounces provolone cheese (sliced)
2 tablespoons butter (melted, salted or unsalted)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
Step 2: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish, arranging them closely together.
Step 3: Evenly spread the shredded chicken over the bottom halves of the rolls. Layer the provolone cheese slices on top of the chicken, then cover with the top halves of the rolls. Use a serrated knife to cut between each slider to make serving easier after baking.
Step 4: Prepare the glaze by whisking together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and salt until fully combined.
Step 5: Brush the glaze generously over the tops of the rolls and in between each slider. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the glaze mixture.
Try switching provolone for Swiss or mozzarella cheese for a different taste.
If you prefer a spicier slider, add a dash of cayenne pepper or use a spicy mustard in the glaze.
Use freshly shredded chicken or leftover cooked chicken as a quick shortcut.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350˚F until warmed through to maintain the bread’s softness and the cheese’s meltiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders the night before, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Add the glaze and bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Can I use other types of rolls or buns?

Absolutely! While Hawaiian rolls are soft and slightly sweet, you can use dinner rolls or slider buns you prefer. Just adjust baking time slightly if needed.

Slider Assembly

12 Hawaiian rolls
2 heaping cups shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
4 ounces provolone cheese, sliced

Glaze

2 tablespoons butter, melted (salted or unsalted)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
Prepare the Rolls. Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half and place the bottom halves evenly in a baking dish, creating a base layer for the sliders.
Assemble the Sliders. Spread the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom rolls, then layer the sliced provolone cheese on top of the chicken. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer. Use a serrated knife to cut between each slider separating them for easy serving after baking.
Make the Glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and salt until fully combined to create a flavorful glaze.
Glaze and Bake. Evenly spread the glaze over the tops and in between the sliders, coating well. Bake the assembled sliders in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted fully and the tops have turned golden brown.

Notes

You can substitute rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken or shredded cooked turkey if preferred.
For a spicy kick, add a small amount of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the glaze.
Make sure to cut between rolls before baking to ensure easy serving once cooked.
These sliders are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated the next day.
