Introduction

These Honey Mustard BLT Chicken Sliders combine the savory flavors of bacon, melted pepper jack cheese, and crispy chicken with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. Perfect for a quick lunch or game day snack, they’re bursting with fresh avocado and juicy cherry tomatoes for a tasty twist.

A white round plate sits on a white marbled surface, holding five mini burgers, each with three main layers: a shiny, dark golden-brown pretzel bun top drizzled with creamy yellow mustard sauce, a thick layer of grilled chicken mixed with crispy bacon pieces and melted cheese, and a base layer of fresh green lettuce with a slice of bright red tomato, all on the white pretzel bun bottom. Two small white ramekins filled with smooth, creamy yellow dipping sauce are placed in the center of the plate, with the burgers arranged evenly around them. The lighting highlights the glossy textures and vibrant colors of the ingredients. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 count)
8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
⅓ cup Cooked Bacon (crumbled)
2 cups Fried Chicken Tenders (roughly chopped)
½ cup Honey Mustard (plus more for dipping)
½ large Avocado (cubed)
¼ cup Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
1 pinch Flaky Salt

Instructions

Step 1: Split the pretzel slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the pepper jack cheese over both the top and bottom halves, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top.
Step 2: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely, until the cheese has melted and the buns are warm and golden brown.
Step 3: While the buns are warming, toss the roughly chopped fried chicken tenders with the honey mustard until they are fully coated.
Step 4: Once the slider buns are ready, layer the honey mustard coated fried chicken on the bottom halves, then add the cubed avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, and a pinch of flaky salt.
Step 5: Close the sandwiches with the top bun halves, pull them apart gently, and serve immediately with extra honey mustard on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add thinly sliced red onions or lettuce to the sliders.
Substitute fried chicken tenders with grilled chicken for a lighter option.
Use regular slider buns if pretzel buns are unavailable; a brioche slider bun works well too.
Try swapping pepper jack for sharp cheddar or mozzarella cheese for a different cheese flavor.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through to keep the buns from getting soggy. Adding fresh avocado after reheating is recommended for best texture.

How to Serve

A white plate holds five small sandwiches, each with a shiny dark brown top bun sprinkled with white sesame seeds and thick yellow sauce drizzled in lines. Underneath the top buns, there are pieces of lightly browned grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and fresh green lettuce, along with slices of red tomato. The bottom buns are soft and golden. In the center of the plate, there are two white ramekins filled with creamy, pale yellow dipping sauce with small dark specks. The whole plate is set against a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

You can prepare the components separately in advance, but assemble the sliders just before serving to keep the buns fresh and prevent sogginess.

What can I use instead of honey mustard?

If you don’t have honey mustard on hand, you can mix equal parts mayonnaise and Dijon mustard with a little honey for a similar sweet tangy flavor.
