They’re chicken sliders topped with fried green tomatoes and a sweet/smokey homemade barbecue sauce on buttered yeast rolls.

These might just be a poster child for gluttony.

It’s so hard to eat just one or two! The barbecue sauce and the crispy fried green tomatoes go so well together.

I used yeast rolls instead of slider buns, and you will be missing out if you go with regular slider rolls. There’s something about the yeast rolls with these flavors that works so perfectly.

Using fried green tomatoes literally is a game changer when it comes to these. It gives these sliders a whole new element of taste and texture that I just love.

By all means, if you would rather use store bought barbecue sauce instead of making it, you’ll still get a fantastic outcome. There are several very good barbecue sauces out there.

The chicken, the crispiness of the fried tomato, the sauce, OMG – it’s such deliciousness.

I had to add more hot sauce to mine, by the way.  I’m all about the condiments, and when a sauce/dip/condiment is good, I want to put it on everything.

Trust me on the yeast rolls – with these I wholeheartedly believe no other bread will do.
