What You’ll Love About This Recipe:

Our family loves a good pulled chicken sandwich and even better enjoyed in a mini fashion like these Teriyaki Chicken Sliders with Sesame Slaw. The sweet and tangy chicken mixed with the sesame flavored slaw is the best! The size of these sliders are perfect for a simple snack, sharing at a party, or even enjoying as the main meal.

The chicken is prepared in the slow-cooker with just a few basic ingredients making these sliders even easier to make. I also use a bag of coleslaw mix for convenience which makes these sliders practically effortless!

Ingredients For Teriyaki Chicken:

• Chicken breasts or thighs
• Yellow onion
• Salt
• Ketchup
• Teriyaki sauce
• Sherry or chicken broth
• Ground ginger
• Hawaiian rolls (or other soft mini rolls)

Ingredients For Sesame Slaw:

• Mayo (Dukes Mayo)
• Rice vinegar
• Toasted sesame oil
• Siracha (or other chili hot sauce)
• Fresh cilantro (optional)
• Dried cranberries (optional)
• Coleslaw mix ( I use the one with carrots)

How to make and Assemble Sliders:

Step 1. Add the chicken, onions, and a pinch of salt to a slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together the ketchup, teriyaki sauce, sherry, and ground ginger. Pour sauce over the chicken and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken easily shreds with a fork. Remove cooked chicken from the slow cooker, shred, then place back in with the extra sauce. Keep warm.

Step 2. In a medium bowl combine mayo, rice vinegar, sesame oil, siracha, cilantro, and dried cranberries. Add coleslaw mix and stir to combine the ingredients. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 3. Slice Hawaiian rolls in half using a large serrated knife. Keep the rolls in tact, do not separate them. This will make it so much easier when you add the filling. Optional step. You can toast the inside of each half or serve as is. To toast, place under the broiler for 30 seconds or until golden brown.

Step 4. Place shredded chicken over the top of the bottom bun, then top with coleslaw mix. Cover with the top bun and slice into individual sliders.

Recipe Tips:

• Buns will get soggy fast. If assembling the sliders for a gathering or your family, make sure to serve them right away as the buns will get soggy the longer it sits.
• Make a slider bar. Break each bun into individual servings then set out the chicken and slaw. Let everyone build their own slider.
• Option to add cheese. Toast buns then add a layer of provolone cheese and melt. Layer with chicken and slaw.
