Main Ingredients:
1pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon blackened seasoning
8 slider buns
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting buns)
1cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
sliced pickles (optional)
Alabama White Sauce:
1/2cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Alabama White Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the Alabama white sauce ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and coat both sides with olive oil and blackened seasoning. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into slider-size pieces.
Toast the Slider Buns: Toast the slider buns with butter in a skillet or oven if desired.
Assemble the Sliders: Layer shredded lettuce, chicken, a generous drizzle of Alabama white sauce, and pickles on each bun. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra heat, add hot sauce or more cayenne to the sauce.
You can swap the chicken for pulled rotisserie chicken for convenience.
