Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with the mouthwatering combination of Alabama white barbecue sauce and blackened chicken in these irresistible sliders. Originating from the heart of the South, this recipe blends the bold flavors of Cajun-inspired seasoning with the tangy, creamy goodness of the iconic Alabama white sauce.
1. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, basil, oregano, and thyme.
2. Generously rub the blackened seasoning all over the chicken.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the seasoned chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re fully cooked and have a beautiful blackened exterior.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Slice the slider rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of the Alabama White Sauce on each side of the rolls. Top the bottom buns with the blackened chicken, followed by shredded lettuce and dill pickle slices.
6. Mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley, then brush the tops of the rolls with this fragrant butter topping.
7. Serve immediately.
These sliders can be prepared in advance. Cook the chicken, make the Alabama white sauce, and assemble the sliders up to 2 days ahead of time. Store components separately in the refrigerator.
