# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Quick and easy preparation perfect for busy weeknights.
  • Juicy BBQ chicken bursting with smoky, tangy flavors.
  • Soft slider buns paired with melty cheddar and crisp coleslaw for contrasting textures.
  • Golden baked fries seasoned to perfection without frying.
  • Great for family meals or casual get-togethers.
02 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C) for safety and juiciness.
  • Shredding the chicken directly in the baking dish helps it absorb all the BBQ sauce.
  • Lightly buttering the slider buns before toasting enhances flavor and adds a golden crust.
  • Flip fries halfway through baking for even crispness on all sides.
  • Make sliders ahead and reheat gently to retain moisture if preparing for a crowd.
