Notes
Do they get soggy? I've had conversations with a number of readers on this and wanted to give you my best tips here!
I recommend serving these sliders immediately so they don't get soggy!.
One trick you can do to help guard against soggy bottoms, is to actually melt the cheese over the cut side of the bottom of the rolls. Then pile on the chicken sauce, etc. This creates a little extra barrier between the sauce and the bread.
If you are making these for a party, or somewhere they will sit out, I recommend just leaving the sauce out, and serving it on the side for dipping. This ensures that you don't end up with soggy sandwiches, even if they aren't eaten right away.
