Ingredients

3 cups shredded chicken
1 cup barbecue sauce
6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
12 Hawaiian bread rolls (1 package)
1/3 cup melted salted butter
¼ teaspoon beef broth base (Better Than Bouillon)
3 sprigs of thyme (stems removed)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet or a 9x13" baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray very lightly with cooking spray.
In a microwave safe large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. (Use as much barbecue sauce as you'd like...more or less! Heat the chicken and bbq sauce mixture in the microwave if it is not warm. This will help the sandwiches heat through properly. 3 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup barbecue sauce
Use a large serrated knife to slice the rolls in half, separating the tops from the bottoms. Place the bottom of the rolls onto the prepared baking pan. 12 Hawaiian bread rolls
Evenly distribute BBQ chicken mixture over the rolls. Top with the slices of cheese. Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches. 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, beef broth, thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Brush butter mixture over the rolls. 1/3 cup melted salted butter, ¼ teaspoon beef broth base, 3 sprigs of thyme, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Cover the rolls loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are lightly browned and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 3-5 minutes.
Slice into individual rolls to serve. Serve warm.

Notes

If you don't have the beef broth base, use a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce in the melted butter.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat the sliders, pop them into the air fryer for about 5 minutes. This will help the bread rolls to crisp up.
