This post is all about how to make Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders – one of my most popular recipes and the first one to go viral on social media. This recipe has received amazing feedback from all that have tried it!
These blackened chicken BLT sliders with golden honey mustard are the perfect handheld snack for gatherings, game day parties, cookouts, pool side, you name it! These are a crowd favorite and super easy to make.
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 Elote Queso, Jalapeno Popper Corn Dip, or this Italian Sausage Dip.
This recipe post is all about how to make my Honey Mustard BLT Chicken Sliders!
Key Ingredients in These Chicken Sliders:
- Blackened Seasoning – I use a homemade blend for my blackened seasoning but you can grab a premade bottle.
- Chicken – chicken tenders are used but you can also use breast or thigh
- Golden Mustard – a zestier take on traditional honey mustard (Sweet Baby Ray’s brand). Honey mustard works too.
- Bacon – adds the perfect smokiness for this BLT slider
- Cheese – colby jack cheese is used, you can use you preferred cheese. Choose one that is mild and not overpowering.
- Veggies – crisp iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, red onion (optional)
- Slider Buns – Kings Hawaiian, of course!
- 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.

Literally my family’s new favorite slider recipe!! SOOOOO good!
Can these be seasoned / marinated in honey mustard the day before?
I converted this to a griddle recipe but still amazing!!! Ya gotta try this.
Anyone tried making these full size sandwiches? Maybe with thinly sliced chicken breast or regular size pounded out? Thank you!
Yes absolutely, I make them as full sized sandwiches all the time. I will usually buy King’s Hawaiian hamburger buns or brioche buns from the deli. And yup, chicken breasts pounded to 1/4 inch even thickness will do the trick! They are exactly as good, just bigger and more to love 🙂
Absolutely so delicious and fresh tasting! Only thing to note is the seasoning was very spicy to us and my daughter could not eat it. I would recc cutting in half or even thirds. Also we added pickles and devoured them so much we didn’t even have leftovers!
This was really amazing! I halved blackened seasoning which was plenty to use for the whole recipe. I used Monterey Jack cheese and pickled red onion along with regular honey mustard. Really delicious!
