Helpful Tips
If you’re new to grilling, keep an eye on the chicken to avoid overcooking. A meat thermometer can be very helpful here.
For a quicker option, use store-bought rotisserie chicken and mix with BBQ sauce.
Want to spice things up? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the BBQ sauce for a hint of heat.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover BBQ chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the microwave or on the stove before serving.
Slider buns can be kept fresh in a sealed bag at room temperature for a couple of days.
