Notes

• You could use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the grocery store for an even quicker prep time.
• Don’t skimp on the butter. It soaks into all the nooks and crannies and adds a ton of flavor to both the top and the bottom half of the slider buns.
• Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your sliders as the suggested baking time approaches.
