How Do I Make Hawaiian Roll Pulled Pork Sliders?
These simple sliders are so easy to prepare, they're going to be your new favorite last minute dinner idea. Just follow these quick steps to create a delicious sandwich everyone in your family is sure to love.
Step One: Prepare the Buns
Remove the Hawaiian rolls from the package and place on a cutting board with the top side facing up. Use a large bread knife to cut the rolls in half through the center, to create top and bottom buns like a traditional sandwich. Set the top buns aside and place the bottom buns on a flat surface.
Step Two: Layer the Sandwich
Spread the leftover pulled pork evenly over all the bottom buns, then spread a layer of coleslaw over the top of the pork. Place on pickle on each slider section and drizzle the BBQ sauce over the top of the pickles. Finish by placing the top of the rolls on top of the sandwich layers, making sure the top and bottom buns line up.
Step Three: Season the Sandwiches
Melt the butter and stir in the BBQ seasoning. Brush the seasoned butter over the top of the buns before serving, then sprinkle with minced fresh parsley. Serve and enjoy!
How Do You Store Pulled Pork Sliders?
These BBQ sandwiches are best when they're served right after they're made. The longer they sit, the soggier they will get due to the coleslaw on top. That's why it's a good idea to only make as many sandwiches as you plan to eat. You can store the ingredients separately and assemble them using your leftovers.
Can I Make Pulled Pork Sliders Ahead of Time?
These layered sandwiches are made with a variety of toppings and sauces, which means they'll probably start to get soggy as they sit. That being the case, it's not a good idea to prepare the sandwiches ahead of time and serve them later.
You can take the time to prepare the different sandwich layers in advance though. The pulled pork and coleslaw can be made ahead of time and layered on the buns when you're ready to serve your sliders. You can also slice the slider buns in advance and store them in the package.

- Try different meat. Pulled pork is a great option for making BBQ sliders. But if you don't have any cooked pork, you can also use shredded BBQ chicken. Combine cooked, shredded chicken with your favorite sauce to use as the filling for your sliders.

- Add some cheese. Sandwiches are always better with cheese! If you want to give your sliders a cheesy flavor, try topping the meat with American or cheddar cheese before serving.
- Toast the buns. Toasting the buns for a few minutes before building the sliders adds a crispy crunch to your BBQ sandwiches. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees andeasoned butter over the top of the rolls. Place the buns in the oven, with the inside brush the BBQ-ss on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until the rolls are lightly toasted.
