Quick Answer

Shred a Costco rotisserie chicken, toss with BBQ sauce, and pile onto split King's Hawaiian rolls with a quick broccoli slaw. Done in 18 minutes; one chicken makes sliders for 6 — perfect for weeknights, tailgates, or any gathering.

BBQ pulled chicken sliders are the second-best use of a Costco rotisserie chicken, after tacos. The chicken shreds in minutes, warms in BBQ sauce in 5 minutes on the stove, and piles beautifully onto King's Hawaiian rolls. The broccoli slaw from Costco adds crunch and freshness that cuts through the rich BBQ sauce. This is a 20-minute dinner that feels like a weekend meal.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the quick slaw: toss broccoli slaw mix with mayo, 1 tablespoon vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate while you prepare the chicken.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and 2 tablespoons vinegar. Stir to coat. Heat for 6–8 minutes until warmed through and saucy.

  3. 3

    Lightly toast the cut sides of the rolls under the broiler for 1–2 minutes (optional but recommended).

  4. 4

    Pile pulled chicken onto the bottom rolls. Top with slaw and pickle slices if using. Close with the top roll.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately — these are best eaten hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What BBQ sauce works best for pulled chicken sliders?+
A smoky, slightly sweet BBQ sauce works best — it complements the mild rotisserie chicken without overpowering it. Sweet Baby Ray's, Stubb's Smokey Brown Sugar, or Costco's Kirkland brand BBQ sauce are all excellent. Avoid very thin sauces that run off the bun.
How do I make a bigger batch for a party?+
One Costco rotisserie chicken makes 12 sliders comfortably. For 24 sliders (a full pack of King's Hawaiian rolls), use two chickens. Keep the pulled chicken warm in a slow cooker on the low setting and set up a slider station so guests can assemble their own.
Can I add cheese to pulled chicken sliders?+
Yes — provolone or pepper jack melt well. Place sliced cheese on top of the chicken before adding slaw, then microwave each assembled slider for 20 seconds to melt it, or broil the open-face sliders for 1 minute with chicken and cheese before adding the slaw.

Costco Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup

Homemade chicken noodle soup in under 40 minutes sounds too good to be true, but starting with a Costco rotisserie chicken makes it completely real. You skip the hours of simmering raw chicken by using already-cooked, already-seasoned meat and adding the carcass to the broth for extra depth. The result tastes like something that's been on the stove all day.
