Step-by-Step Instructions for How To Make Chicken Sliders

Prep and Slow Cook Set Up

Unwrap the chicken breasts and place them in the slow cooker.
Top the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, half to a full jar of Miller’s Banana Pepper Habanero Sauce, and the chicken broth. Cook in the slow cooker on high for four hours.

Shredding and Mixing The Chicken

Remove the chicken from the broth (or shred the rotisserie chicken) and shred it in a bowl, using a fork. Add 1/2-1 jar of additional sauce to the chicken (you want it saucy but not overly wet).

Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds (or less). Brush it over the tops of the rolls.
Add the prepared chicken sliders to the oven (375°F for 10-12 minutes) until the tops are slightly browned and the cheese is melted.
