Notes
Note 1: Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs both shred well. If you don't have shredded chicken, you can shred a rotisserie chicken. Note 2: Any type of shredded cheese works great! Storing Tips: - Barbeque chicken sliders are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. - Reheat the sliders in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until hot and melty. Just wrap the sliders in aluminum foil and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
