BBQ Chicken Sliders with Kentucky Bourbon BBQ Sauce
Ingredients:
Slider ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts or thighs (boneless and skinless )
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Harry & David® Kentucky Bourbon BBQ Sauce
- 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
- Pickles
Slider slaw ingredients
- 2 cups green cabbage (shredded )
- 2 medium carrots (grated)
- ½ small red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon sugar
Instructions:
Preheat grill
- Preheat grill to 375° F to 450° F (or direct heat, if using charcoal).
- Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
Preparing the slaw
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir well to combine.
- Place the slaw in the fridge for 30-60 minutes for the flavors to meld. It's OK if you don't want to wait; the coleslaw is fine to eat right away, too.
Grilling the chicken
- Grill chicken over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes per side, until it reaches 165° F in the thickest part of the chicken.
- Flip the chicken and generously brush it with Harry & David Kentucky BBQ Sauce.
- After chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it for sliders.
Assembling the sliders
- Place a few slices of grilled chicken on the bottom part of a slider bun. Add 1/4 cup of slaw. Drizzle with extra BBQ Sauce. Add sliced pickles and the top slider roll. Serve immediately.
Notes:
The slaw will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, but it will lose some of its crunch after a day or so.
