Hey foodies!
Are you ready to seriously upgrade your slider game? Forget those boring, dry burgers – we're diving headfirst into flavor town with these Grilled Chicken Sliders featuring a White BBQ Sauce! And the best part? They are SO easy to make.
We all love a good BBQ, but sometimes we want something a little different. That's where this white sauce comes in - it's tangy, a little spicy and totally addictive. No need to marinate either, let's get straight to it.
Here’s what you need to do:
-
Get Your Grill On: Fire up your grill! Whether you’re a charcoal fanatic or a gas grill guru, get those grates nice and hot. A little bit of oil will stop the chicken from sticking.
-
Whip Up the White Magic: This isn't your grandma's BBQ sauce (unless your grandma was a culinary genius!). Mix together 1 cup of creamy mayo (I'm a fan of avocado mayo!), 1 tbsp of horseradish (for that zing!), ½ tsp each of salt and pepper, and ¼ tsp each of paprika, garlic powder, and sugar. Taste and adjust! Feeling fiery? Add a pinch of cayenne.
- Set aside ¼ cup for basting and put the rest in the fridge – we want it nice and cool.
-
Grill Those Chickens! Place your chicken breasts on the hot grill for about 7 minutes. Flip them, and now it's baste time! Use that reserved ¼ cup of white sauce and slather it on. Keep flipping and basting every minute or two, until the chicken is cooked all the way to 165F - it should be juicy and cooked through - don't overcook them or they will be dry! While the chicken is grilling, quickly toast your slider buns on the grill – keep a very close eye, they can burn quickly!
-
Shred and Assemble: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling (don't skip this!) and then shred it with forks. Pile that juicy chicken onto your toasted slider buns, give a generous drizzle of that delicious chilled white sauce, and top with some yummy dill pickles. BOOM! Slider perfection!
What Should you serve with These Mini Marvels?
Go wild! You can serve these with all sorts of healthy sides. Think crunchy carrots and cucumber sticks, or a light salad. Or if you are feeling less healthy, some sweet potato fries, or a big bowl of coleslaw.
Pro Tips for Juicy Grilled Chicken:
- Use fresh, good quality chicken.
- Don't forget to grease the grill.
- Make sure your grill is good and hot.
- A meat thermometer is your best friend – don’t overcook!
- Let the chicken rest – this keeps the juices inside.
Flexibility is Key
- Chicken Thighs? Absolutely! They'll bring an extra richness to the sliders.
- Rotisserie Chicken? Yup, you can use leftover rotisserie chicken – just be sure to add plenty of extra sauce if it's dry!
- Canned Chicken? Hmm...maybe not this time, that is only really good in chicken salad!
