Shredded Chicken Sliders with Homemade BBQ Sauce

These easy Barbecue Chicken Sliders (made with shredded chicken) can be made in the crockpot or the oven (or even in the instant pot or on the stove). They’re perfect for a full meal or even as a tasty appetizer for your next party.  My favorite part is that they can be easily customized for the entire family, making them a versatile dinner, appetizer or even lunch option.

Swap out a traditional hamburger bun with Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, Romaine Lettuce ‘buns,’ or even make a bowl out of this by topping brown rice with this incredible BBQ chicken!

Bonus? We’re using my mom’s homemade barbecue sauce, and it is so, SO good.

These delightful little guys are the life of every party, and they’ll turn every meal you eat INTO a party.

Shredded Chicken Sliders with Homemade BBQ Sauce

These easy Barbecue Chicken Sliders (made with shredded chicken) can be made in the crockpot or the oven (or even in the instant pot or on the stove). They’re perfect for a full meal or even as a tasty appetizer for your next party.  My favorite part is that they can be easily customized for the entire family, making them a versatile dinner, appetizer or even lunch option.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

BBQ SAUCE:

  • 1 ½ C Ketchup
  • 2 TBS Mustard
  • 6 TBS Brown Sugar
  • ½ tsp Cider Vinegar

BASE

Choose one of the following options as your base for this recipe, or provide them all for your family to choose their favorite.

  • Hawaiian rolls
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Brown rice (1 cup per bowl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Melt butter and coat a 9×9 Pyrex or casserole dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce. Set aside a portion for drizzling.
  4. Add shredded chicken to the barbecue sauce and mix well.
  5. Pour your shredded chicken/barbecue sauce mixture into your greased pan.
  6. Cover and bake for 25 minutes.

Add to the “base” of your choice (Hawaiian rolls, Romain lettuce or rice), drizzle with barbecue sauce and enjoy.

Notes

If you’d prefer not to use the oven, omit the butter. Mix the barbecue sauce and shredded chicken together and heat on the stovetop over medium heat until you reach your desired temperature.

I usually make a double batch of barbecue sauce. I mix half with the shredded chicken and leave the other half for garnish. My kids love to dip into extra BBQ sauce or drizzle extra on their sandwiches or rice bowls.

You can also use the storebought barbecue sauce of your choice.

MORE OF MY FAVORITE SHREDDED CHICKEN RECIPE IDEAS

Listen, when I first started making batches of shredded chicken, I kept things fairly basic. I used it in sandwiches and tossed it on my salads.

But I’ve come a long way, baby. 

I’ve figured out a way to incorporate shredded chicken into just about everything we’re eating. I don’t because – you know – the entire family might start a revolt against shredded chicken.

BUT – it’s comforting to know that even on the nights when we have no food in the house – I still have shredded chicken and can whip up SOMETHING to eat.

Here are a few of my (and my family’s) favorites:
