These easy pull-apart tailgate sliders feature tender shredded chicken, melty sharp cheddar cheese, and a sticky hot honey glaze, perfect for quick and flavorful game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup hot honey (honey mixed with chili flakes or cayenne pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves snugly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Layer the chicken evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken.
  5. Place the top halves of the rolls back on, pressing down lightly to keep everything together.
  6. Mix the hot honey glaze by combining hot honey with a bit more melted butter. Brush this glaze generously over the tops of the rolls.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, tops are golden, and glaze is sticky but not burnt. Watch closely after 18 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley or chopped green onions on top for garnish.
  10. Serve warm and pull apart.

Notes

Do not overstuff sliders with chicken or cheese to allow easy pulling apart. Let sliders rest after baking to set the glaze and prevent messiness. Watch oven closely after 18 minutes to avoid burning. You can prep and assemble ahead and refrigerate before baking, adding a few extra minutes to bake time if cold.
