Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or cooked chicken breast/thighs)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Bacon

  • 6 strips crispy cooked bacon, chopped

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sliders & Glaze

  • 1 package (12 rolls) Hawaiian rolls
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Shred cooked chicken using forks or your hands. In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with ranch dressing until well coated, creating a creamy, tangy base.
  2. Crisp the Bacon: Cook bacon strips until crispy on stovetop or in the oven. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces to add a crunchy texture.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Slice Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping tops and bottoms intact. Evenly spread the chicken and ranch mixture over the bottom halves. Sprinkle chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top, then cover with the roll tops.
  4. Make the Maple Glaze and Brush Rolls: Melt softened butter and stir in pure maple syrup to make a sweet glaze. Generously brush this mixture over the tops of the sliders for a glossy, flavorful finish.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Melty: Place sliders on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden brown, sealing in all the rich flavors.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add juicy flavor.
  • Brush the maple glaze a second time halfway through baking for a shinier, sweeter crust.
  • Do not overfill sliders to avoid soggy rolls or messy eating.
  • Choose a good melting cheese like sharp cheddar for ideal gooey texture.
  • Wrap sliders in foil after baking to keep warm and let flavors meld before serving.
