Slicing a whole package of slider rolls in one piece is the trick that makes these so quick. Everything is layered on the slab, baked together and cut apart at the table.

Good to know

Rotisserie chicken makes these very fast. One chicken gives about 3 cups of shredded meat, which is exactly what this recipe needs. See 1 rotisserie chicken, 7 easy dinners for the rest of the bird.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Without separating the rolls, slice the whole sheet in half horizontally and put the bottom half in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Warm the chicken and barbecue sauce in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring.

  3. Lay half the cheese over the bottom rolls, spread with the chicken and top with the remaining cheese and the top half of the rolls.

  4. Brush the tops with the butter mixed with garlic powder. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for 5 minutes more, until the tops are golden and the filling is hot (165°F).

  5. Cut into sliders and serve with coleslaw on top or alongside.
