Instructions
- Prepare Oven & Chicken:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 2 minutes per side until golden.
- Bake Chicken:
- Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Pour chicken broth and barbecue sauce over the chicken. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until cooked through (internal temperature: 165°F/74°C).
- Prepare Fries:
- Meanwhile, cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries. Toss with vegetable oil, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake fries for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Shred Chicken:
- Remove chicken from oven. Shred with two forks and toss with sauce in the baking dish.
- Toast Buns:
- Brush slider buns with melted butter and toast lightly in the oven for 3–4 minutes.
- Assemble & Serve:
- To assemble sliders, place shredded BBQ chicken on bottom half of each bun. Top with cheddar cheese and a spoonful of coleslaw. Cover with top bun. Serve sliders hot with crispy fries on the side.
