For the Chicken:

• 1.5 lbs chicken tenders – Chicken tenders are perfect for sliders because they cook quickly and remain juicy. If you can’t find tenders, boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be sliced into smaller pieces.
• 4 tbsp olive oil – The olive oil is used for both the chicken and the slider buns. It helps the seasonings stick to the chicken and ensures a golden, crispy finish when cooking.

For the Slider Buns:

• 1 pack Kings Hawaiian slider rolls or dinner rolls – These sweet and soft buns provide the perfect base for your sliders. Their slight sweetness complements the smoky and tangy flavors of the chicken and Alabama white sauce.

For the Toppings:

• 1/4 head iceberg lettuce, shredded – Fresh lettuce adds a crunchy texture to the sliders. Feel free to swap it with other leafy greens like romaine or arugula for a different flavor.
• Dill pickle slices – Dill pickles are the classic choice for sliders, bringing a sharp and tangy contrast to the richness of the chicken and sauce. You can adjust the amount based on your preference for pickles.

Butter Topping:

• 1/4 cup melted butter – Used to brush on the buns, giving them a beautiful golden brown finish.
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (minced) – Adds freshness and color to the butter topping.
• 1 garlic clove (minced) – Enhances the flavor of the butter topping with its aromatic punch.

For the Blackened Seasoning:

• 2 tbsp smoked paprika – The key ingredient in blackened seasoning, smoked paprika gives the chicken a deep, smoky flavor.
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper – Provides the heat needed to balance the richness of the sauce and chicken.
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme – These herbs and spices come together to form the classic blackened seasoning that imparts a bold flavor to the chicken.

For the Alabama White BBQ Sauce:

• 1 1/4 cup mayonnaise – The base of the white sauce, offering creaminess.
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar – Provides acidity and balances the richness of the mayonnaise.
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard – Adds tang and depth to the sauce.
• 2 tsp brown sugar – A touch of sweetness that rounds out the flavors of the sauce.
• 2 tsp creamy horseradish – A secret ingredient that brings heat and a little zing.
• 2 tsp lemon juice (fresh squeezed) – A fresh citrus note to brighten the sauce.
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce – Adds depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
• 2 tsp hot sauce – For an extra kick of spice.
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper – Elevates the heat and smokiness in the sauce.
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste – Adjust these seasonings as you go, balancing the sauce to your preferred taste.
