If your family loves those crispy chicken sandwiches, these Honey Butter Chicken Minis are such a fun homemade version! They’re made with soft, fluffy Rhodes dinner rolls, crispy breaded chicken, and a simple honey butter that gets brushed over the warm rolls for the perfect sweet-and-savory bite. They’re easy to make, super kid-friendly, and great for game day, parties, or a quick dinner when you need something everyone will actually eat.
Honey Butter Chicken Minis
Ingredients:
-
6 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls
-
24 frozen breaded chicken chunks or nuggets
-
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
Pickle chips, optional for serving
Directions:
- While the Rhodes rolls are still frozen but just soft enough to cut, cut each roll into 4 equal pieces. You should have 24 pieces total.
- Place the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a lightly greased baking dish, leaving a little room between each one. Cover and allow them to thaw and rise according to the package directions, until noticeably puffy.
- Bake according to the Rhodes package directions until the tops are lightly golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, stir together 3 tablespoons melted salted butter and 1 tablespoon honey.
- As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, generously brush the tops with the honey butter. Let cool just enough to handle.
- Prepare the frozen chicken chunks according to the package directions. I’d use the air fryer if you have one—it’ll give you a crispier piece of chicken against that super-soft roll.
- Slice each mini roll in half without cutting completely through if possible. Place one crispy chicken chunk inside each roll.
- Give the tops one more very light brush of honey butter and serve warm. Add pickle chips on the side if desired.
