Spicy Chicken Sliders Recipes

Steps:

• Add canola oil to a heavy bottomed pot with a tight fitting lid and put it over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken thighs, skin side up, fitting them in tightly. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and pour in 1/2 cup water. When it comes to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. When it is cool, shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. (Reserve the meat from 2 thighs for Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa.)
• In a large bowl combine the sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes and mix together. Shred half of the cabbage and add it to the bowl, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. (Reserve the remaining cabbage half for the Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa.) Toss to coat all of the cabbage, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, mustard, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the shredded chicken and toss to coat.
• Divide the shredded chicken evenly among each roll bottom. Top with some of the cabbage, cover with the roll top, and insert a toothpick to hold it all together. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Cook onions in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat 5 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
• Add chicken and hot sauce; mix well. Cook 4 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently.
• Split rolls; fill with chicken mixture and cheese. Place on baking sheet.
• Bake 6 to 8 min. or until heated through.
• Thread pickle slices onto 12 small skewers, then insert into tops of sandwiches.

Steps:

• Carefully slice the pack of dinner rolls in half, being sure to keep the rolls connected as a single units as they are split into tops and bottoms.
• Remove the top and place the bottom section in a 9x12 inch (23x30 cm) baking dish.
• Sprinkle the bottom with about 1 cup (100 g) of the shredded mozzarella cheese (make sure it is evenly coated as this will act as a barrier between the sauce and the bread, preventing the rolls from getting soggy).
• Top the cheese with the shredded rotisserie chicken. Drizzle the hot sauce and ranch dressing evenly over the chicken and spread out evenly with a spoon. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Place the top half of the rolls on top and brush evenly with melted butter.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the rolls have heated through.
• Remove from oven, cool slightly before transferring to a cutting board.
• Using a large knife, follow the lines of the rolls, cutting them into 12 individual sliders.
• Enjoy!
