Ingredients
2 lbs chicken tenders
1 pack Hawaiian slider buns or dinner rolls
8 strips bacon, cooked until crisp
Colby jack cheese slices (or preferred mild cheese) to taste
1/2 head iceberg lettuce
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin (optional)
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
4–5 tablespoons oil for marinade and cooking chicken
Mayonnaise to taste
Golden honey mustard to taste
2 tablespoons smoked paprika or regular paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) softened butter for the garlic butter topping
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare the Chicken Begin by marinating 2 lbs chicken tenders in 4-5 tablespoons oil mixed with the blackened seasoning. Combine 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, and the rest of the spices in a bowl, then coat the chicken evenly. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes this step infuses flavor and works well if you marinate overnight for busy schedules.
2-Second Step: Cook the Chicken Heat a skillet over medium-high with a bit of the oil from your marinade. Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes per side until itβs juicy and golden. Check that itβs fully cooked for safety, and remember, this method keeps Honey Mustard Blt Chicken Sliders tender, perfect for dietary tweaks like using thighs.
3-Third Step: Make the Butter Topping While the chicken rests, mix 1/2 stick softened butter with 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley and 2 cloves minced garlic. Heat this briefly until melted, creating a flavorful spread for the buns. This addition makes your Honey Mustard Blt Chicken Sliders extra special and can be adjusted for low-calorie diets by using less butter.
4-Fourth Step: Toast the Buns Slice 1 pack Hawaiian slider buns horizontally and place them cut-side penalties up under the broiler until golden, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the top buns domed-side up and spread the butter mixture on them. For gluten-free options, ensure your buns are suitable before toasting.
5-Fifth Step: Assemble the Base On the bottom buns, spread mayonnaise to taste, then add one cooked chicken tender per slider, a dollop of golden honey mustard, and a slice of Colby jack cheese. Pop them back under the broiler for a minute to soften the cheese, adapting for vegan cheese if needed to keep the recipe versatile.
6-Sixth Step: Add Toppings Layer on 8 strips crispy bacon, sliced thin 2 Roma tomatoes, optional 1/2 small red onion, and 1/2 head iceberg lettuce. Drizzle more golden honey mustard for that tangy flavor. This step lets you customize for low-calorie by skipping extras.
7-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy Place the top buns on, slice to separate the 12 sliders, and serve immediately. Total time is just 30 minutes, with 15 prep and 15 cooking. Pair these with a spicy cocktail recipe for a fun twist, as it complements the flavors nicely. Your Honey Mustard Blt Chicken Sliders are ready to impress!
