Method

1
Preheat the broiler and set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
2
In a skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken and BBQ sauce. Stir and warm for 4–5 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and coated in a glossy, slightly thickened sauce.
3
Split the slider buns and arrange the bottom halves on a sheet pan.
4
Pile a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken onto each bottom bun, then sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top.
5
Broil for about 2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted and just starting to bubble.
6
Cap with the top buns and serve immediately, with coleslaw set out on the side so kids can add it themselves.
