Ingredients

  • 2 count rotisserie chicken
  • 1 lb bacon
  • 18 oz BBQ sauce
  • 14 slices cheddar cheese
  • 14 count slider buns
  • 2 tbsp butter

Steps

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, drain on paper towels, then chop it up.
  2. Shred the rotisserie chicken and toss it with the BBQ sauce and chopped bacon. Warm in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches 165°F.
  3. Toast the slider buns with a little butter in the skillet.
  4. Layer the chicken mixture and a cheese slice on each bun and serve warm.
  5. Make ahead: cook and chop the bacon and shred the chicken up to 2 days ahead and keep them in the fridge, then reheat the filling to 165°F before serving.
  6. Picky eater tip: serve the plain toasted bun with a cheese slice and some plain shredded chicken on the side.

On the side: Roasted broccoli (15 min)

1 3/4 lb broccoli florets

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli on a sheet pan with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Roast 15 minutes, until the edges are browned.
