Easy Shredded Rotisserie Chicken Sliders

Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 rotisserie chicken, shredded

12 slider buns

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

I start by shredding the rotisserie chicken with two forks or my hands.

In a medium bowl, I mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

I add the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir until the chicken is fully coated.

I slice the slider buns in half and arrange them on a baking sheet.

I spoon the chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then cover with the top halves.

If I want a garnish, I sprinkle on some chopped parsley.

I serve them right away or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes for a toasty finish.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 6 servings, with 2 sliders per person. It takes about 10 minutes of prep time and 5 minutes of cooking or warming, for a total of just 15 minutes. Each serving contains around 180 kcal.

Variations

I like to switch things up by adding shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese before baking for a melty twist. Sometimes, I replace the honey with maple syrup for a richer sweetness. For a spicy version, I stir in a little sriracha or hot sauce into the dressing. Coleslaw can also be added on top of the chicken for crunch.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store the chicken mixture separately from the buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm the chicken in a skillet or microwave before assembling fresh sliders. If the sliders are already assembled, I wrap them in foil and warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until heated through.

FAQs

Can I use homemade shredded chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Yes, I often use leftover cooked chicken breasts or thighs that I shred and season to taste.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

I prepare the chicken mixture up to a day in advance and assemble the sliders right before serving so the buns stay fresh.

Can I freeze the chicken mixture?

Yes, I freeze the coated chicken mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 months, then thaw and reheat before serving.

What can I serve with these sliders?

I like to serve them with potato chips, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.

How can I make them gluten-free?

I simply use gluten-free slider buns to make the recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
