1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cut into 4 inch pieces

1 pack Hawaiian rolls, 12 count
03 -
8 slices bacon
04 -
2 cups barbecue sauce, divided

1/4 red onion, sliced

# How to Prepare:

Combine the chicken breasts with 1 cup of barbecue sauce in a zip-top bag or bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 4 hours or overnight.
02 -
In a skillet over low heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
03 -
Heat a grill to medium. Cook the marinated chicken for about 3 minutes per side, basting with 1/2 cup of fresh barbecue sauce. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
04 -
Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the buns.
05 -
Place the grilled chicken on the prepared buns. Brush with additional barbecue sauce, then top with Colby jack cheese, bacon, red onion slices, shredded lettuce, and ranch dressing.
06 -
Place the top halves of the buns onto the sliders. Slice into individual portions and serve. If making ahead, drizzle with ranch dressing only before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
02 -
Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking temperature.
