Directions:
1. To Make the Oven-Roasted Pulled Pork: Mix together all of the seasonings and rub the spice blend all over the pork and marinate the pork overnight, covered, in the refrigerator. The next day, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan and bake for 6 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer registers to 170 degrees. Remove the pork from the oven and transfer to a large platter and allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While still warm, take 2 forks and pull the meat to form shreds.
2. To Make the Pineapple Coleslaw: In a medium-mixing bowl, whisk together the mayo, drained pineapple, Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, honey, and horseradish. Toss this mixture with the coleslaw and green onions until completely coated. Set it aside until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
3. Baking the Sliders: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Split the dinner rolls in half and spread one of the sides with a thin layer of mayo. Place some pulled pork on top of the bun with mayo (making sure to press it in, so it’s compacted). Close the rolls with the top bun. Place them into a large baking dish or a cookie sheet that has been lined with a Silpat (make sure that they are very close together). Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, yellow mustard, maple syrup, minced red onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Season it with a little salt and pepper if needed. Using a spoon, drizzle the sauce over the sliders evenly, using just enough to cover the tops of the buns. Try to spoon the minced red onions on top for pretty presentation. Sprinkle the tops with poppy seeds. Let the butter sauce sit until it sets slightly. Bake the sandwiches for 10-15 minutes or until the tops are slightly brown and beginning to crisp up.
4. Assembling the Sliders: Once they have baked, remove them from the oven. Open the sliders back up, and then drizzle the pulled pork with some of your favorite BBQ sauce. Next, top the sauced pork with a pickle chip and a scoop of slaw. Close them back up with the top bun. For easier serving, stick a long toothpick into the middle of the slider to hold them together. These sliders can be a little messy to assemble, but you just have to keep stacking and pressing! Enjoy them while they are still slightly warm!
