- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 9x13 inch baking dish.

- Spread chicken mixture over bottom buns.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over chicken.
- Place top buns over cheese.

- Brush butter mixture all over tops of buns.
- Cover tightly with foil.

Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time
- Keep buns connected until after baking
- Brush butter mixture everywhere on top
- Do not skip the foil — it keeps buns soft while cheese melts
- Let cool 3 minutes before cutting so cheese sets
- Add pickles, onions, or coleslaw after baking
- Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for 24 hours
- Freeze unbaked for up to 2 months
- Hawaiian rolls are the classic choice but any small rolls work
- Do not use too much BBQ sauce or buns get soggy
