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!
