Ingredients

  • 1 lb.

    frozen breaded chicken tenders or nuggets

  • 1

    (12-oz.) pkg. sweet Hawaiian slider rolls

  • 1

    garlic clove, grated or finely chopped

  • 4 tbsp.

    unsalted butter

  • 1/4 tsp.

    crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 c.

    shredded mozzarella, divided

  • 2 tbsp.

    finely chopped fresh basil

  • 1/4 c.

    grated Pecorino Romano, divided

  • 1 c.

    homemade or store-bought marinara, plus more for serving

Directions

  1. Prepare chicken tenders according to package instructions. Let cool slightly, then cut any large tenders into 2" pieces.

  2. Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. Place still-attached rolls on a cutting board. Cut buns in half parallel to cutting board, keeping them attached. Place bottom buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up.

  3. Bake bottom buns until just starting to get crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, in a medium heatproof bowl, microwave garlic, butter, and red pepper flakes (if using) in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until butter is melted, about 1 minute total; season with salt.

  5. Layer bottom buns with half of mozzarella. Sprinkle with basil and half of Pecorino. Top with chicken, sauce, and remaining mozzarella. Close with top buns. Brush buns with half of garlic butter.

  6. Bake sliders until warmed through and buns are golden brown, about 25 minutes.

  7. Brush tops with remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with the remaining Pecorino. Serve with more sauce alongside.
