For quite some time now, I’ve seen recipes for Mississippi Pot Roast all over the “www.” Although I’ve not made that simple recipe myself, I’ve been intrigued by the combination of flavors. With my curiosity peaked, I decided to give the recipe a try but wanted to give it my own twist.
How To Make The BEST Mississippi Chicken Sliders
First, I changed to use skinless chicken thighs instead of beef. I love using chicken thighs in the crock pot. They always turn out tender and juicy and work well with any seasonings, like the ones used in this recipe.
After I cooked the chicken, I shredded it, piled it on Hawaiian rolls slathered with spicy mustard and mayo, topped it with cheese, and brushed on butter flavored with ranch seasoning. I baked the sliders until they were golden brown on the top, and the cheese was ooey-gooey and melted.
What You Need To Make Mississippi Chicken Sliders
- Chicken Thighs
- Butter
- Ranch Seasoning
- Pepperoncini Pepper
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Hawaiian Rolls
- Sliced Gouda Cheese
- Spicy Mustard
- Mayonnaise
How To Make Mississippi Chicken Sliders
Since my boys love my Corned Beef Reuben Sliders, I thought, why not do the same with this incredible, flavorful chicken? That was a smart call because the guys went absolutely nuts over them! Here’s how to build the sliders:
- Slice Hawaiian dinner rolls in half, horizontally. Don’t worry if the rolls are attached, and you’ll cut them apart once the sliders are baked.
- Spread spicy mustard and mayonnaise on the cut side of the bottom and top of rolls.
- Place shredded chicken evenly on the bottom of dinner rolls. Layer on cheese and place the tops of the rolls over the chicken and cheese.
- Brush melted butter seasoned with ranch and parsley over the rolls. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, brush with any remaining butter, and bake for 5 additional minutes.
- Remove the sliders from the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes, slice them apart, and serve.
Can I Freeze Mississippi Chicken?
Yep, you sure can. To freeze, first, make the recipe according to the instructions listed in the recipe card. Let cool then place the chicken in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bags and freeze. When you are ready to use, place the chicken in a pot on the stove to reheat or in the crock pot on low until heated through.

We love Mississippi chicken. Making them into sliders sounds delicious. Can you freeze leftover sliders?
I never have but you can give it a try.

Would chicken breasts work in place of chicken thighs? I’m out of thighs but have plenty of breasts in the freezer I could use!
Sure, go for it!

It is delicious. My family loves them. Thanks for sharing.
What do we do with the peppers? Do they get cut up with the chicken? The recipe doesn’t say.
***Place chicken in the crock pot. Sprinkle over ranch seasoning. Place pepperoncini peppers and half the juice from the jar around the chicken. Add butter and sprinkle on red chili flakes.***
After the chicken is done, you can chop the peppers, place them on the side or discard. It’s your choice. They add flavor to the recipe – that is their main purpose.

DELICIOUS! I did not have spicy mustard so I just used regular, it was fantastic!
