- 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

For the slaw
- 1 cup slaw mix
- ½ small red onion quartered and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
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!
