Bake
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange the popcorn chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.

The internal temperature should reach 150°F to 160°F.

Spray a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cut the rolls in half horizontally. Place the roll bottoms in the prepared baking dish. Lay the slices of pepper jack over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with the BBQ sauce. Place 1 popcorn chicken piece on each roll bottom. Cap with the roll top.

Brush the roll tops with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of BBQ seasoning. Return the sliders to the oven and bake them for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
