It starts with toasted slider buns topped with juicy pan seared blackened chicken. Then they are piled high with bacon, lettuce, tomato and drizzled with honey mustard and mayo. To finish them off, the tops of the buns are smothered in garlic butter.

These sliders go great with dips like this beer-smoked elote queso, jalapeno popper corn cheese dip, or this pizza dip.

Key Ingredients in These Chicken Sliders:

1. Blackened Seasoning – I use a homemade blend for my blackened seasoning but you can grab a premade bottle.
2. Chicken – chicken tenders are used but you can also use breast or thigh
3. Golden Mustard – a zestier take on traditional honey mustard (Sweet Baby Ray’s brand). Honey mustard works too.
4. Bacon – adds the perfect smokiness for this BLT slider
5. Cheese – colby jack cheese is used, you can use you preferred cheese. Choose one that is mild and not overpowering.
6. Veggies – crisp iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, red onion (optional)
7. Slider Buns – Kings Hawaiian, of course!
8. Garlic + Parsley + Butter – grated garlic clove (1) and chopped parsley get added to melted butter and spread on the buns

How to Make These Chicken Sliders:

With just a few easy steps you can have these sliders on your table in under 30 minutes. This recipe can also be done on the grill!

Step 1: Start by cooking your seasoned chicken either in a oiled skillet over medium-high, or grill the seasoned chicken. As the chicken cooks, prep your veggies by slicing them for sandwiches. Then make your butter spread by combining in a bowl the softened butter, chopped parsley, and grated garlic. Heat for 30 seconds or until butter melts, then stir to combine.

Step 2: Slice the sliders in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Place them cut side up onto a baking sheet and toast under a broiled (or on your grill) until golden brown, just a few minutes. Flip the top buns so the domed tops are facing up and leave them beside the bottom buns on the pan. Assemble the sliders by first adding a squeeze of mayo to all of the bottom buns. Add the chicken, scattering it evenly so each slider gets at least one chicken tender. Add a dollop of the golden honey mustard, then place cheese over the chicken.

Step 3:  Flip the top buns right-side up and spread them with the butter mixture. Add sliders back into the broiler for another minute or two until cheese softens. Top the sliders with bacon, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and another drizzle of the honey mustard. Place the top buns atop the sandwiches, slice to separate them and serve.

Where to Find Golden Honey Mustard:

In this recipe I use the Sweet Baby Ray’s Golden Mustard. It’s similar to honey mustard but with a bit more zing and less mustard-y. Usually Wal-Mart is the easiest place to locate this and other hard to find condiments.
