1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

One 12-ounce/12-count package King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and halved

3/4 cup ranch dressing
12 small Bibb lettuce leaves

Directions
Special equipment:
decorative toothpicks- For the marinade: Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken cutlets and toss to coat. You can the cook the cutlets straight away or cover and marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
- For the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the rolls on a sheet pan. Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter and sprinkle over the seasoning. Bake to warm through and toast slightly, 5 to 6 minutes, then set aside.
- For the filling: Meanwhile, grill the chicken pieces for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Flip and top each with a halved piece of bacon and a halved piece of Cheddar. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 more minutes. Remove.
- Separate the rolls and slice in half horizontally. Place the bottoms on a platter and top each one with a tablespoon of ranch dressing, a lettuce leaf and a chicken piece. Add a slice of tomato, some fried onions and pickled jalapeños to each. Add the tops of the rolls and place a decorative toothpick through each slider. Serve.
