Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • - Rotisserie chicken is your best friend here. It's already seasoned and juicy. Leftover grilled chicken works too. Just pull it apart with your hands or two forks.
  • 6-8 slider buns or dinner rolls
  • - Brioche buns are ridiculously good for this, but regular hamburger buns work fine. Sometimes I use whatever's on sale.
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • - Adds sweetness and tang. Use your favorite. I usually grab Sweet Baby Ray’s because my kids like it, but any brand works.
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • - Keeps the filling creamy and prevents it from drying out. You can use Greek yogurt if you want to feel healthier about it.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • - Just a touch of sweetness. Optional but really nice.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • - Because garlic makes everything better.
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • - Gives a little depth without being spicy.
  • Salt and pepper
  • - To taste. Start light, you can always add more.
