Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull-Apart Sliders

Our family loves eating little sandwiches or sliders on Hawaiian rolls that can easily be sliced and pulled apart for a party, easy family dinner or fun appetizer.

Ranch dressing is the base layer upon which the chicken sandwich is built. Load these sliders ups with sliced chicken and cheddar or Swiss cheese. Sprinkle chopped up bacon or bacon bits on top. Finish off the sliders with a sweet butter, brown sugar and poppyseed glaze that everyone will remember.

This recipe is inspired by our Ham, Swiss & Ranch Sliders and Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon Sliders. There’s something about mixing cold deli meat with melted cheese and bacon bits on a Hawaiian roll that leaves you hungry for more!

Use a longer serrated knife to slice the warm meat and cheese and the sliders are so easy to pull apart and enjoy!

Hawaiian Slider Rolls

Slider rolls come in several different shapes. Kings Hawaiian is a very popular brand that is a medium sized roll.

We used Aunt Millie’s Hawaiian rolls for this recipe which were very large rolls. Since the rolls are large we like to use plenty of meat and cheese, but if a smaller package of rolls is used the amount of ingredients may need to be decreased.

Store brand Hawaiian sliders are often the smallest sized slider. Smaller sliders are great for making appetizers and finger foods or feeding toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Tips for Making Chicken & Ranch Sliders

  • For extra ranch flavor a couple tablespoons of ranch seasoning can be mixed into the glaze that is poured on top of the rolls before baking.
  • Sliced or shredded chicken can be used. When shredded chicken is used we find more seasonings are needed for maximum flavor.
  • Hawaiian rolls may be toasted before adding ranch, but this step isn’t required.
  • This recipe tastes great with Swiss, Colby Jack or Sharp Cheddar cheese.
  • Turkey can easily be substituted for chicken in this recipe!

How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders

Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with foil to make easy clean-up. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Use a long bread knife to slice rolls in half. Place the bottom half of the sliders in the baking dish and toast in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes if desired.

Add a nice layer of ranch dressing. Then add a couple layers of pre-cooked sliced chicken breast meat.

My favorite steps are next! Add a layer of sharp cheddar cheese and then sprinkle on the bacon bits!

I will often pop these in the oven for a few minutes to help get the meat warmed up and start melting the cheese while I mix up the glaze.

To make the glaze, melt the butter and then stir in the remaining ingredients: Dijon mustard, brown sugar, poppyseeds, and Worcestershire sauce.

Spoon the glaze on top of the rolls or use a pastry brush to apply the glaze.

Pop these sliders in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes until the glaze melts over the entire slider and the rolls begin to brown just a little bit. Once the meat is warm and the cheese melts these sliders are ready to eat!

    Yummers. Superb! And I use regular bakery slider buns (I don’t like Hawaiian rolls). Also, your photography is awesome!
