These easy Barbecue Chicken Sliders are perfect for a crowd. With just 7 ingredients and 15 minutes you can have the ultimate appetizer on the table in no time. Made with everyone's favorite Hawaiian buns, they're perfect for a tailgate, picnic, or even just a dinner party.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shredded chicken in a large bowl and add the bbq sauce. Stir until all of the chicken is well-coated.
Take the Hawaiian rolls out of the package and use a knife to slice all the rolls in half horizontally, so you have a top half and a bottom half. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls in the pan. Sprinkle the oven evenly over the chicken and top with slices of cheese.
Place the top half of the rolls on top of the cheese layer. Mix the melted butter and garlic powder and brush or spoon over the top of the rolls.
Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown. Let the sliders cool for a few minutes, then cut them apart and enjoy!

Notes
Use Pre-Cooked Chicken: Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken. Just shred it before mixing with the BBQ sauce.
Evenly Distribute Ingredients: Make sure to spread the chicken, onion, and cheese evenly over the rolls to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Toast the Rolls: For an extra crispy texture, lightly toast the bottom half of the rolls in the oven before adding the chicken mixture.
Serve Warm: These sliders taste best when served warm. If you’re making them for a party, keep them covered with foil to retain heat until you’re ready to serve.
