-
1 tsp each salt, pepper, garlic powder
-
½ tsp cayenne (optional)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
½ cup BBQ sauce (your fave!)

2 tbsp chili garlic sauce (or sriracha)

¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tbsp chopped parsley
-
½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook Chicken: Season tenders with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Sear in oil over medium-high heat, 4–5 mins per side. Rest 5 mins, then shred. (Skip this if using rotisserie chicken.)
2️⃣ Sauce It Up: Mix BBQ sauce, Worcestershire, mayo, and chili garlic sauce. Toss chicken until coated.
3️⃣ Build: Slice rolls in half horizontally. Lay bottoms in a baking dish. Pile on chicken, sprinkle cheddar then mozzarella. Add top buns.
4️⃣ Butter Crown: Mix melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush generously over buns.
5️⃣ Bake: 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 mins, until cheese is melty and tops are golden. Rest 2 mins, slice, serve warm!
Notes
-
Sweet rolls too sweet? Use mini brioche or potato rolls!
-
Extra gooey: sprinkle more cheese on top before baking.
-
Serve with crunchy pickles or slaw to balance the richness.
