Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F; line a baking sheet with foil.
- Halve the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Season the flesh generously with salt and brush with 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Arrange flesh-side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast until tender and the squash strands are easily separated with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the maple syrup, tomato paste, 2/3 cup of the vinegar, remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, a pinch of salt and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, cabbage, onion and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with salt.
- Use a fork to separate the squash strands (keep them in the skins). Divide 1 1/4 cups of the sauce between the 2 halves and mix until the squash strands are coated. Season with salt.
- Slice the buns open about three-quarters of the way. Divide the cucumber slices among the buns. Fill each with a generous amount of the squash and top with some slaw. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of a bite.
- Use a good quality barbecue sauce. This is the key to great-tasting chicken sliders.
- Shred the chicken yourself. This will give you a more tender and flavorful result.
- Use a slider bun that is sturdy enough to hold up to the filling. A soft bun will get soggy and fall apart.
