Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 11-14 ounce coleslaw mix (without the sauce package or throw it away)
- 1 store bought rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup original bbq sauce (thick works best, not vinegar based)
- 1 (12 ounce) package of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper until combined.
- Add in the coleslaw and stir to combine. Place the bowl in the fridge.
- Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and pull the meat from the bones. Discard the bones and skin.
- Add the shredded chicken into a dutch oven or large pot over low heat on the stovetop. Pour in bbq sauce and cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the Hawaiian Rolls in half to create a top and bottom portion, like a hamburger bun. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
- Melt butter and brush over tops of rolls half way through baking.
- Open up the Hawaiian rolls and onto the bottom portion cover with bbq chicken. Then, top with about 1/2 of the coleslaw. Close up the sliders with the top of the rolls.
- Cut into 12 sliders.
- Serve with lots of napkins and enjoy! There will be leftover coleslaw to serve on the side.
Notes
- If there are giant pieces of cabbage in the coleslaw mix, toss them. Those are usually the bottom portion of the cabbage and taste bitter.
- The rotisserie chicken really just needs to warm up in the sauce. Don't overcook it or it may dry out. If it looks dry, add in 1/4 cup more bbq sauce.
- Allow the coleslaw to sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to help dissolve the small amount of sugar in the sauce.
