Slider Sandwich Tips
- Slider sandwiches are typically made with small buns or rolls. Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls work well as they are slightly sweet and add a nice flavor.
- Use a serrated bread knife when cutting the Hawaiian rolls in half to keep them from tearing.
- Brushing melted butter on the buns before assembling the sliders adds richness and enhances the overall taste. You can also mix in herbs or spices for extra flavor or use my Homemade Garlic Butter recipe!
- When layering the ingredients, begin and end with the cheese to help keep the sandwiches together when cut. This also keeps the rolls from becoming soggy from the juice of the chicken.
- Don't forget to add cheese! Cheese is an essential component of slider sandwiches!
- Remember to cover the sandwiches with aluminum foil so the tops don't become too brown.
- Feel free to experiment with different meats and cheeses to suit your taste.

Step 1: Mix the seasonings into the melted butter. Stir to combine.
Step 2: Cut the rolls in half horizontally to create a bottom and top half. Place the bottom half of the rolls on to your baking sheet.
Step 3: Brush the bottom of the rolls with seasoned butter. I used the back of a spoon, but you can use a silicone brush.
Step 4: Add a layer of cheese on top. Then add a layer of the deli chicken.
Step 5: Add the cooked bacon on top. You can substitute turkey bacon if you want.
Step 6: Drizzle the ranch dressing on top. You can add another layer of cheese too!
Step 7: Brush the top of the Hawaiian slider rolls with the remaining melted garlic butter.
Baking Instructions
Step 8: Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until the sliders are golden brown.
Step 9: Cut and serve. Enjoy!

How to Store, Freeze and Reheat

You sure can! Start off by preheating the air fryer to 300°F. Cut the sandwiches apart, and place into the air fryer in a single layer with a small space between the sandwiches to allow the air to circulate. Air fry the sliders for 5 to 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted, and the sandwiches are browned.
A chicken slider is a small sandwich made with chicken as the main protein. It typically consists of a mini bun or roll filled with cooked chicken, often shredded or sliced, and various toppings or condiments. The small size of the sandwich makes it easy to enjoy multiple flavors or create a variety of toppings for guests to enjoy.
