These recipe gone viral sandwiches will make you the hit of your Fourth of July party.
Ingredients
2 lbs. chicken tenders (chicken breasts and thighs work too)
3-4 tbsp. of Blackened seasoning (or here’s how you can make it)
1 pack King’s Hawaiian slider buns, dinner rolls or hamburger buns
Mayonnaise (to spread on the sandwiches)
Sweet Baby Ray’s Golden Mustard (honey mustard or any golden BBQ sauce works as a substitute)
8 strips of bacon, cooked crisp
Colby Jack cheese - 6-8 slices - enough slices for the sandwiches
1/2 head Lettuce
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
Oil for marinade and cooking chicken
Instructions
Place tenders into a large zip-top bag or bowl. Add the blackened seasoning and a few tablespoons of oil. Mix to coat them evenly, making sure they are well seasoned on all sides.
Cook the chicken either in an oiled skillet over medium-high or grill the chicken.
While the chicken cooks, slice rolls horizontally using a serrated knife. Place them cut side up onto a baking sheet and toast under a broiler (or on your grill) until golden brown, just a few minutes.
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.
Add slider baking sheet 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 over the sandwiches, slice to separate them and serve.
