Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of 12 Hawaiians rolls
  • 1 rotisserie chicken shredded into 3 cups OR 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Frank's Red Hot Buffalo sauce
  • ¼ cup blue cheese can leave out if you prefer
  • 6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • salt
  • Optional: sliced pickles

For the slaw

  • 1 cup slaw mix
  • ½ small red onion quartered and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F.

If using rotisserie chicken

  • Shred enough of the chicken to make 3 cups.
  • Toss shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce. Then, mix in the blue cheese.

If using chicken breast

  • Put chicken breasts in a slow cooker on low. Pour buffalo sauce over chicken and cover.
  • Cook on low for 4 hours. Then, shred chicken with 2 forks. Measure out to about 3 cups (if you have extra set aside). Mix in blue cheese.

For the slaw

  • Mix slaw and red onion together in a medium bowl.
  • Mix together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss the vinegar mixture with the slaw.

For the sliders

  • Cut Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally.
  • Place bottom half of rolls on a parchment paper or foil lined baking sheet.
  • Cover the bottom half of the rolls with sliced cheese, layering so there is no space between them.
  • Spread chicken mixture over cheese. Then place the top half of Hawaiian rolls on the chicken.
  • Brush the tops of the buns with the melted butter. Then sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Bake until tops of rolls are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove the top buns and spread slaw mixture over the chicken. Add pickles if using.
  • Replace top half of rolls and serve!
