Instructions
0 Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns in an even layer. 1 Make the Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Top with a little extra sauce if you like your sliders extra saucy. 2 Assemble the Sliders: Top the chicken with the pickled onions, mozzarella cheese, smoked Gouda, and chopped cilantro. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Place the top halves of the slider buns over the filling. 3 Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the sliders to heat through. 4 Make butter topping: While the sliders bake, melt butter in a small bowl. Stir in the chopped cilantro and BBQ rub. Remove after 15 minutes, and brush the tops of each bun generously with the seasoned butter. Return the sliders to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp. 5 Serve: Let the sliders rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing along the bun lines. Serve warm with your favorite BBQ sides and enjoy!View original recipe
