How to Make Grilled Chicken Sliders:

The Chicken
- Remove fat and skin from chicken thighs. If using chicken breast slice chicken into thinner slabs
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Place on grill, griddle or in pan if frying
- Cook side one and flip
- Carefully spoon on desired sauce (Citrus Infused, Original Dipping, or Peanut Sauce)
- Continue cooking until chicken is thoroughly cooked
The Onions
- Thinly slice onions (red or sweet are really good choices here)
- Sauté sliced onions in coconut oil, olive oil or butter
The Buns
- Grill, toast or pan fry buns in butter or oil
Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce made from Original Dipping Sauce and Your Favorite Mayonnaise.
Final Assembly
- Remove buns and place on serving platter or plates
- If extra sauce is desired, in a medium bowl mix mayo with Organic Citrus Infused Sauce or Organic Original Dipping Sauce and spread on grilled buns. See Spicy Mayo.
- Add chicken to the bottom of each bun
- Top with a slice of cheese
- Add sautéed onions
- Add other optional ingredients (if your ingredients start stacking up too high you may need to spear the slider with a large toothpick, party skewer, or fruit pick to keep it together – warn your guests if you place a toothpick in the sliders)
