Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning
- 8 slider buns
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting buns)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
- sliced pickles (optional)
Alabama White Sauce:

Instructions
- Prepare the Alabama White Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the Alabama white sauce ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cook the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and coat both sides with olive oil and blackened seasoning. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into slider-size pieces.
- Toast the Slider Buns: Toast the slider buns with butter in a skillet or oven if desired.
- Assemble the Sliders: Layer shredded lettuce, chicken, a generous drizzle of Alabama white sauce, and pickles on each bun. Serve warm.
Notes

- You can swap the chicken for pulled rotisserie chicken for convenience.
