Can I make these chicken sliders for a crowd?

Why yes you can! These are meant to feed a crowd. To make it easier and quicker, you can make the chicken sliders with rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breast. Just shred the rotisserie chicken and mix it with the Asian sauce – which is so easy to make – and cook it over medium heat for some minutes until the chicken is fully flavored. For maximum flavor, make these chicken sliders with slaw. You can make the slaw ahead of time and mix it with the dressing before serving.

I love how colorful this slaw is! It makes the sliders pretty and the cabbage gives such a nice crunch. The dressing is very light and adds a bit of tanginess to the slaw. A mixture of rice vinegar, water, honey and salt brings the perfect amount of sweet and salt which pairs perfectly with the chicken sliders.

How to make chicken sliders

Start with the chicken, I like to sear the chicken breast on both sides and then bake in the oven for twenty to twenty five minutes. Once the chicken is cooked and cool, shred the chicken using two forks and then return it to the pan. Cook with the Asian inspired sauce for some minutes until the sauce is thickened. Make the slaw by mixing shredded carrots, cucumbers and cabbage. Then start assembling the sliders and serve.

To make these shredded chicken sliders I used Pepperidge Farm Slider Buns which are a part of the lineup of Pepperidge Farm products that your whole family loves.  Pepperidge Farm Slider Buns have no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors which makes them a good choice for parties, gatherings and game days!

Pepperidge Farm Slider Buns are always baked the right way with special touches and the widest variety of yummy flavors such as Sesame, Potato and Wheat. They come in party size pack (12-count). I used the sesame flavor for this recipe but any variety would work perfectly.

What’s special about this chicken sliders recipe?

• It’s super simple and quick: You can do most of the work ahead of time including cooking the chicken, shredding it and making the slaw. You can also use rotisserie chicken which makes it even quicker.
• There’s so much flavor: With the addition of soy sauce, brown sugar and a rainbow slaw, these sliders are bursting with flavor. I also added some sambal oelek (ground fresh chili paste) for more flavor and we loved it, strongly recommended!
• They’re very versatile: You can serve these chicken sliders with spicy mayo (a mixture of mayo and sriracha) or leave out the Asian sauce and use teriyaki sauce instead to have chicken teriyaki sliders.

What do you like to add to your chicken sliders? Avocados? Sriracha? More sesame? Hot sauce?

Notes and tips to make chicken sliders:

• If making these chicken sliders for a crowd, place the cooked or rotisserie chicken without bones in a stand mixer with flat paddle attachment and turn on medium to shred the chicken much faster.
• You can use store bought slaw for this recipe. If you don’t have rice vinegar at hand, use white vinegar. As white vinegar has a stronger flavor, use less white vinegar and more water to make the dressing.
• Store the remaining chicken and slaw in separate containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
