BBQ Chicken Sliders For The Win

This recipe is a descendent from a past New Years Eve menu item- the famous ham and cheese sliders you see all over the internet. Seems you can put anything in these sliders so why not try another version! I have come up with an extremely delicious BBQ chicken version. Who doesn't love melted cheese and meat and bread and sauce! Of course you can fiddle with this however you want- adding onion might be a good one, but in my opinion, these flavors go so well together, why change it up right now?

-1 18 pack of Hawaiian rolls
-1 rotisserie chicken: picked apart- get alllll that meat off the chicken
-1 cup BBQ sauce: divided
-2 cup Swiss cheese: shredded and divided
-1/2 cup pickles (I suggest sticking to bread and butter or dill for maximum yumminess)
-4 tbs butter: melted
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/4 cup parsley: chopped
-1/8 tsp salt
-1/8 tsp pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Remove the buns from their package. With them all still together, carefully cut the entire piece in half so it's separated into one slab of top buns and one slab of bottom buns.
3. In a greased 9x13 baking dish or cookie sheet, place the bottom buns down- cut side up.
4. Spread half of the BBQ sauce on the bottom buns. 
5. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the BBQ sauce.
6. Place the chicken on top of the cheese.
7. Put the rest of the remaining cheese on top of the chicken, followed by the pickles, and the rest of the BBQ sauce. 
8. Place the top buns on top- cut side down, so now it's one big sandwich, stuff dreams are made of!
9. In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley.
10. Brush the butter mixture all over the tops and sides of the buns.
11. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and pop into the oven for 20 minutes.
12. Take the foil off and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the top is toasty and golden.
13. Remove from the oven and carefully cut the buns however you'd like! 

The amazing thing about these kinds of "roll sandwiches" is that you can literally make them with whatever you want, however you want! Mini meatball subs, Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches, ham and cheese, sloppy joe, chicken and pesto, sausage and peppers, chicken parm, cheesesteak, cheeseburgers (big mac. DROOL), the possibilities are ENDLESS! Plus, sandwiches are better when they are warm, melty, and slathered in garlic butter, right?

I must warn you to be careful as well, it's very easy to eat all of these in one go, so pace yourself you savage!
