I'm dishing out my internet hit Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders today! This crowd-pleaser blew up online, and I still get folks telling me how crazy they are about them. These tasty bites mix juicy spiced chicken, crunchy bacon, and a tangy honey mustard mix that'll knock your socks off. They're just right for everything from watching sports to summer hangouts!
Why These Sliders Stand Out
Think about warm slider rolls packed with spicy blackened chicken, super crisp bacon, garden-fresh veggies, and that knockout honey mustard sauce. We finish them off with a tasty coating of herb-garlic butter on top. Between you and me, how these flavors and textures come together is simply out of this world!
Shopping List
- Spice Mix: Store-bought or DIY blackened seasoning to flavor the chicken.
- Chicken: Tenders work best, but you can swap in breasts or thighs too.
- Mustard Sauce: Sweet Baby Ray's Golden Mustard, but any honey mustard will do.
- Bacon: Adds that smoky crunch everyone loves.
- Cheese: Colby Jack slices, or whatever mild cheese you fancy.
- Fresh Stuff: Iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions if you want them.
- Buns: Kings Hawaiian slider rolls really make this dish pop.
- Flavor Boost: Fresh grated garlic and chopped parsley stirred into melted butter for the buns.
Let's Cook Up Something Amazing
- Prep Your Chicken
- Cover your chicken with blackened seasoning and cook until juicy inside. While that's happening, chop up all your veggies.
- Mix Your Butter
- Combine your butter with parsley and fresh garlic. Warm it in the microwave until just melted, then mix it well.
- Toast The Rolls
- Cut your slider buns and brown them under the broiler. Flip the top halves over to get them ready for stacking.
- Stack Everything Up
- Spread mayo on the bottom buns, lay down your chicken, pour on that tasty golden honey mustard, and add cheese on top. Brush the upper buns with your garlic butter mix.
- Final Heat
- Run them under the broiler again to melt the cheese and make those buns extra toasty.
- Finish Them Off
- Add your bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce, give one more honey mustard drizzle, put the tops on, and they're good to go!

The Magic Mustard Touch
Sweet Baby Ray's Golden Mustard really makes these sliders pop. It's got this unique tangy kick that's not quite the same as typical honey mustard. You'll usually spot it at Walmart or local stores, but don't sweat it if you can't find it – regular honey mustard works like a charm too!
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can these sliders be prepped earlier?
Sure! Cook your chicken and bacon ahead of time. Just assemble the sliders and broil when you're ready. Keep veggies separate to avoid soggy sandwiches.
- → What’s a good roll substitute?
Don’t have Hawaiian rolls? Try any dinner rolls or slider buns. Brioche rolls are awesome for some extra sweetness and sturdiness.
- → Does blackened seasoning mean it’s spicy?
It’s a bit spicy thanks to cayenne, but you can tweak it. Less cayenne for mild, or more if you like it fiery.
- → Can I swap tenders for chicken breast?
You totally can! Slice breasts thin, or flatten them a bit so they cook as quickly as tenders.
- → How can I keep sliders warm at a party?
Cover with foil to trap the heat without making them soggy. You can also keep them in a 200°F oven for about half an hour.
