Equipment

  • 9 x 13 baking dish or sheet pan lined with parchment
  • long serrated bread knife
  • large measuring cup
  • cutting board & sharp knife
  • aluminum foil
  • sharp knife or kitchen scissors.

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 pack) King's Hawaiian Rolls or other Mini Dinner Rolls
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chickens)
  • 2 cups favorite barbecue sauce (DIVIDED)
  • 1/4 red onion sliced into small slivers
  • 16 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (or other favorite cheese (DIVIDED)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • garlic powder or other seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish or sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. You can also just line with parchment paper for ease.
  • Lay out Hawaiian rolls on a cutting board. Keeping rolls all together without splitting them apart slice rolls in half lengthwise using a sharp serrated knife. Remove the tops to a separate dish for later in the recipe.
  • Place the bottom layer of rolls into prepared baking dish. Place 1/2 of the shredded cheese on top of the bottom layer in baking dish and spread evenly to cover.
  • In a mixing bowl mix together cooked shredded chicken with 1 1/2 cups bbq sauce. Use a large scoop to place chicken mixture all over the cheese that's on the bottom layer of rolls. Then spread carefully over cheese.
  • Drizzle rest of bbq sauce (1/2 cup) over the bbq chicken layer.
  • Sprinkle the slivered red onions across the bbq sauce layer and Top with remaining shredded cheese.
  • Place the tops of the rolls on top of the cheese. Using a pastry brush, slather the melted butter all along the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle garlic powder or other seasoning that you prefer on the melted butter.
  • Cover baking dish with foil loosely. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes then remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese has melted.
  • Let rest for a few minutes then cut apart using sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Enjoy.
