# Tips:
01 -
Provolone cheese melts perfectly and has a creamy texture, making it the best choice for BBQ chicken sliders.
02 -
Plan for 2-3 sliders per adult and 1 slider per child under 10 years old.
03 -
To keep sliders moist, ensure to use the right amount of barbecue sauce as per the recipe.
04 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep meat and buns separate to avoid sogginess.
05 -
Reheat sliders in a 350ºF oven for 15-20 minutes to warm through and toast the buns slightly.
