Chicken bacon ranch Hawaiian roll sliders are some of the best tasting sliders I’ve ever made! Using Hawaiian rolls, chicken, bacon, ranch, and cheese, these bacon ranch chicken sliders are going to be the talk of your next gathering!
What are Sliders?
Sliders are basically mini sandwiches or mini burgers. This makes them more versatile as they can be served up as either an appetizer, snack, entrée. You can also feel less guilty about eating more than one. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
How Do I Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Hawaiian Roll Sliders?
Making bacon ranch chicken sliders is super simple and takes a few simple steps: preheat the grill, cook the meats, put it all together, place on the grill. Let me expand on those steps:
The Prep Work
First things first, preheat your grill to 350 degrees over indirect heat. I prefer to use hickory wood when putting chicken bacon sliders on the grill, but you can use whichever you prefer.
While the grill is preheating, season chicken thighs with Santa Maria seasoning and cook them up either directly on the grill or in a skillet. While that is cooking, either cook raw bacon to desired doneness or simply use precooked bacon. Dice up bacon and chicken when done and rested. Set aside.
Assembling the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders Recipe
Using a 12-pack of Kings Hawaiian rolls, slice the connected rolls to separate the top from the bottom as if you’re making one large sandwich. Place bottom portion in a 9×11 greased foil pan.
Spread the cooked, diced chicken thighs all over the bread, followed by drizzling the ranch dressing to cover all sliders. Next, sprinkle on the chopped bacon, followed by placing slices of provolone cheese to cover each slider.
Place tops half of rolls on and apply melted butter to the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle the buttery tops with organic garlic pepper from Redmond Real Salt. If you want more ranch flavor, sprinkle on a ranch seasoning packet instead.
How Long Do I Cook These Bacon Chicken Ranch Sliders?
Cook the chicken bacon ranch sliders on the grill for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. The cheese will be melted and the tops of the Hawaiian rolls will feel toasted. It’s that simple! In fact, most of my sliders recipes, such as these s’mores sliders, cook on the grill at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Can I Make These in the Oven Instead?
You can absolutely make these Hawaiian roll chicken sliders indoors in your oven. The subtle hint of smoke flavor from the grill will be missing, but the majority of the flavor will still be there.
Have Any Other Recipes for Dishes that can be Either Appetizers or Entrees?
