BBQ Chicken Sliders (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 1/4 cups barbecue sauce, flavorful and tangy.
02 - 2 pounds of chicken, cooked and shredded.
03 - 12 mini brioche buns, soft and fluffy.
04 - 6 strips of crispy, thick bacon.
05 - 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onion.
06 - 4 tablespoons of butter, melted to perfection.
07 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded finely.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven at 175°C (or 350°F) and grease up a rectangular 9x13-inch dish with some non-stick spray to ensure nothing sticks.
02 - In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce well, spreading the barbecue goodness evenly across all pieces.
03 - Using careful hands, slice your buns horizontally in one piece—don’t separate individual buns yet.
04 - Snugly fit the bottom part of the sliced buns into the greased baking dish, making sure they’re cozy and leave no space between buns.
05 - Evenly cover the bottom buns with your barbecue chicken mixture, making sure each bite-to-be is packed with chicken.
06 - Top the chicken with pieces of the crispy bacon, breaking them as needed to cover everything nicely.
07 - Spread the thin onion slices across the bacon layer to add a bit of zesty crunch.
08 - Cover up all the layers so far with shredded cheddar, making sure no spot is left without cheesy goodness.
09 - Place the top half of the buns over the layered fillings, lining them up exactly with the bottom buns.
10 - Generously brush the melted butter over all the tops of the buns, making sure you get every corner and edge.
11 - Cover your dish tightly with foil to stop the tops from over-browning too quickly while baking.
12 - Put it in the oven with foil on and bake for 15 minutes. This helps the cheese melt and warms up the fillings.
13 - Carefully remove the foil and bake for a little longer, about 5 minutes, until the bun tops are golden brown.
14 - Take it out and leave it for 5 minutes before cutting. This helps the layers stay in place while serving.
15 - Cut along the bun lines with a sharp knife to portion out sliders, and they’re ready to serve.

# Notes:
