🧂 Sugar (to taste)

🍃 2 bay leaves
🍞 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls
🧀 Mozzarella cheese (as desired)
🧈 Melted butter (as desired)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Marinate the chicken thighs with your choice of spices such as salt, pepper, and oregano.
Whisk the egg in a bowl to create an egg wash.
Dredge each chicken thigh in all-purpose flour, ensuring they are fully coated.

2- Cook the Chicken:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Fry the chicken thighs until they are golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside to cool slightly before slicing.

3- Prepare the Sauce:

In a small saucepan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in tomato sauce, a pinch of sugar, oregano, and bay leaves. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste and remove bay leaves before using.

4- Assemble the Sliders:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally.
Arrange the bottom half in a baking dish.
Layer with mozzarella cheese slices followed by the sliced chicken thighs.
Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over the chicken.
Add another layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Place the top half of the rolls back on.

5- Finishing Touches:

Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese and dried parsley over the top.

6- Bake the Sliders:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the rolls are golden brown.

7- Serve:

Allow the sliders to cool slightly before serving.
Pull apart the rolls to serve and enjoy!
