Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breasts

Bacon

  • 68 strips crispy bacon, chopped

Dressing & Glaze

  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Rolls & Cheese

  • 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian slider rolls
  • 68 slices sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Shred cooked chicken breasts or pull apart rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces to ensure tender, juicy bites in every slider.
  2. Cook the Bacon: Fry bacon strips until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop into smaller pieces that fit well inside the sliders.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, keeping tops and bottoms intact. Lay the bottom half on a baking sheet. Spread shredded chicken mixed with ranch dressing evenly on the rolls, then sprinkle chopped bacon over the chicken. Top with slices of cheese.
  4. Add the Top Rolls and Glaze: Place the top half of the rolls over the layered ingredients. In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix it with maple syrup. Brush this glaze evenly over the entire top surface of the rolls.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the top is golden with the maple glaze slightly caramelized.

Notes

  • Use fresh chicken for better seasoning control, or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Don’t skip the maple glaze for added flavor and a glossy finish.
  • Assemble sliders the night before and bake fresh before serving.
  • Add bacon just before baking to keep it crispy.
  • Choose soft Hawaiian rolls for subtle sweetness and proper texture.
