Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Sliders
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). Brush chicken breasts lightly with olive oil and coat generously with BBQ sauce.
  2. Place the chicken on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces and mix with remaining BBQ sauce.
  4. Slice slider buns in half and optionally toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Assemble each slider with shredded BBQ chicken, a slice of cheddar, and allow cheese to melt slightly.
  6. Top each slider with coleslaw, pickles, and jalapeños to customize.
  7. Crown sliders with top buns and serve on a platter.
