Instructions
 

Prepare

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  • If your rolls aren’t already sliced, place the connected package on a cutting board and carefully slice horizontally through the stack with a serrated knife, keeping one hand on top to steady them.

Make filling

  • In a large bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, ranch dressing, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
  • Fold in the cooked, shredded chicken and toss gently until the chicken is thoroughly coated with the ranch mixture.

Assemble sliders

  • Keep the rolls attached. Place the bottom halves, cut side up, in the prepared pan.
  • Spread the chicken and bacon mixture evenly across the bottom halves of the rolls.
  • Cover with the top halves of the rolls, placing them cut side down over the filling.

Make garlic butter topping

  • In a small bowl, stir the melted butter together with 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder until combined.
  • Brush or pour the garlic butter evenly over the tops of the assembled rolls so the surface is well coated.

Bake

  • Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crisp to your liking.

Cool and serve

  • Let the sliders rest about 5 minutes after removing from the oven. Cut into individual sandwiches, sprinkle with minced parsley if desired, and serve warm.
