Hot Honey Chicken Sliders (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 24 soft dinner rolls (like French-style brioche).
02 - 5 cups of shredded roast chicken (store-bought works too).
03 - 12 slices of imported Emmental cheese.
04 - Double batch of spiced honey drizzle.
05 - 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
06 - A pinch of cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
07 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic seasoning.
08 - 1/4 teaspoon regular salt.
09 - 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika powder.
10 - 4 cups of mixed shredded cabbage slaw.
11 - 1/2 cup of creamy coleslaw sauce.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 180°C and grease a large 22x33 cm oven dish generously so nothing sticks.
02 - Grab your rolls, and with a long, sharp bread knife, slice them horizontally without pulling them apart.
03 - Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls inside the oven dish, making sure there's no space between them.
04 - Spread slices of Emmental across the buns evenly, tearing pieces as needed to cover everything completely.
05 - Take the shredded roast chicken and toss it with the honey drizzle mixture until every piece is coated nicely.
06 - Lay the honey-coated chicken on top of the cheese layer, spreading it out for equal portions in every slider.
07 - Without covering, bake it for about 15 minutes so the cheese melts and everything heats through.
08 - While that's baking, whisk together the butter, cayenne, garlic seasoning, salt, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
09 - Once the bottoms are done, place the top halves of the rolls back on, making sure they're perfectly lined up with the base.
10 - Generously brush your seasoned butter mixture all over the tops and edges of the rolls.
11 - Pop the dish back in the oven for another 15–20 minutes and bake until the tops are beautifully golden and crispy.
12 - While waiting, mix the shredded slaw together with the coleslaw sauce. Adjust the sauce amount to your liking.
13 - Take the dish out of the oven, and carefully lift off the entire top layer of the buns in one go.
14 - Cover the chicken with the coleslaw mixture, spreading it evenly. Replace the top buns and optionally brush more butter for extra flavor.

# Notes:

01 - Quick to put together.
02 - Perfect for preparing ahead of time.
03 - Ideal for parties or gatherings.
04 - Conveniently uses store-made roast chicken.
