Ingredients
  

1 lb cooked, shredded chicken

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

1/4 cup diced red onion

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Pickles (optional, for an added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.

    Mix BBQ Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated. Then, fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and the diced red onion to enhance the flavor and texture.

      Prepare Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and carefully separate all the pieces. Using your fingers, gently flatten each biscuit to create a wider base.

        Assemble the Sliders: Take one of the flattened biscuits and place about a tablespoon of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top. Fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling to form a pocket, pinching the edges to securely seal it.

          Arrange in Baking Dish: Position the filled biscuit pockets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Arrange them closely together for a snug fit.

            Make Garlic Butter Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Use a brush to generously coat the tops of the biscuit sliders with this flavorful mixture.

              Bake: Place the assembled sliders in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a lovely golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. If you enjoy a little tang, consider adding a pickle slice on top of each slider.

                  Enjoy: Serve the Mini BBQ Chicken Biscuit Sliders warm, and savor the delicious combination of flavors in every bite!
