I'm tossing my fan-favorite Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders your way! These mini sandwiches blew up on my socials and I still get folks telling me how much they can't get enough of them. These tasty bites mix up juicy blackened chicken, crunchy bacon and a sweet-tangy honey mustard that'll knock your socks off. They're just right for everything from watch parties to backyard hangouts!
Why You'll Love These Mini Sandwiches
Imagine warm slider rolls packed with perfectly blackened chicken, crisp bacon, garden-fresh veggies and that knockout honey mustard. Then we finish them off with a tasty coat of herbed garlic butter on the buns. Between us, the way these flavors and textures come together is nothing short of mind-blowing!
Round Up These Items
- Blackened Seasoning: Store-bought or DIY spice mix to flavor your chicken.
- Chicken: Tender strips (or cut-up thighs/breasts if you prefer).
- Golden Mustard: Sweet Baby Ray's Golden Mustard (regular honey mustard works too).
- Bacon: Adds that smoky crunch we all crave.
- Cheese: Colby Jack slices, or whatever mild cheese you fancy.
- Veggies: Crisp iceberg, sliced tomatoes, and red onions (skip these if you want).
- Slider Buns: Kings Hawaiian small rolls work best here.
- Garlic + Parsley + Butter: Fresh minced garlic and chopped parsley swirled into melted butter to brush on top.
Creating Your Tasty Masterpiece
- Prep Your Protein
- Cover your chicken with blackened seasoning and cook until juicy inside. While that's happening, go ahead and chop your veggies.
- Mix Your Butter Topping
- Combine your butter, fresh parsley and garlic. Warm it in the microwave just enough to melt, then stir it all together.
- Fix The Rolls
- Cut your slider buns and toast them under the broiler till they're lightly browned. Flip the top pieces over for the next steps.
- Stack Everything Up
- Spread mayo on the bottom buns, layer on chicken, drizzle that yummy golden mustard and add cheese slices. Paint the top buns with your garlic butter mix.
- Quick Broil
- Put them back under the broiler to melt the cheese and make those buns extra crispy.
- Finish Them Off
- Add your bacon, tomato slices and lettuce with another drizzle of that golden mustard, put the tops on and they're good to go!

The Magic Mustard Factor
I won't lie, Sweet Baby Ray's Golden Mustard makes these sliders extra special. It's got this unique tangy kick that stands out from ordinary honey mustard. You'll spot it at Walmart and most grocery stores, but if you can't track it down, don't sweat it! Regular honey mustard steps in just fine!
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I get things ready ahead of time?
You can totally prep the chicken and bacon early. Add the toppings (lettuce and tomato) just before serving so everything stays crisp, not soggy.
- → What rolls work if I can't find Hawaiian ones?
Slider buns or dinner rolls work fine, but make sure they're firm enough for all the fillings. Brioche buns are a great option for a sweet touch.
- → Is the blackened seasoning super spicy?
It's got a medium spice level from cayenne. Want it milder? Use less cayenne—or more to turn up the heat!
- → Can I swap chicken tenders for breasts?
You totally can. Just slice them thin or pound them evenly to make sure they cook as quickly as tenders.
- → What's the best way to keep them toasty at a party?
Cover them loosely with foil after they're put together. The foil traps heat but keeps the buns dry. Or keep them in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes.
