Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 18 ounces barbecue sauce

Slider Buns

  • 16 King’s Hawaiian rolls
  • Butter, softened, for spreading

Optional Garnishes

  • Sliced pickles
  • 1/2 onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the boneless skinless chicken breasts with sea salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Place the seasoned chicken into the slow cooker.
  2. Add Barbecue Sauce: Pour the barbecue sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well covered.
  3. Slow Cook the Chicken: Cover with the slow cooker lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sauce is hot and bubbly.
  4. Prepare the Slider Buns: While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls horizontally to form slider buns. Brush the cut sides with softened butter and place them on a baking sheet.
  5. Toast the Buns: Toast the buttered slider buns in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  6. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it thoroughly. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss it in the remaining barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Assemble the Sliders: Place a generous amount of shredded BBQ chicken onto each toasted slider bun. Add optional sliced pickles and onions for extra flavor and texture.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sliders warm as a delicious appetizer or main course, perfect for parties and casual meals.
