Ingredients:
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt, pepper, and granulated garlic (SPG mix)
- Your favorite BBQ sauce
- Gouda cheese, sliced
- Colby Jack cheese, sliced
- Slider buns
- Melted butter
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preparation:
- Begin by thinly slicing the red onion for that desirable crunch in our sliders. Break up the slices and store in the fridge until needed.
- For the chicken, pat it dry, remove the backbone with kitchen shears or a sharp knife, and then cut the chicken in half for ease of handling on the grill.
2. Seasoning:
- Season the chicken liberally with the SPG mix, ensuring both the meat and skin sides are covered. Place the seasoned chicken on a tray and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate and the skin to dry out slightly.
3. Grilling:
- Preheat your Z Grills pellet grill to 300-325°F, using oak pellets for that rich, smoky flavor.
- Grill the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F for the breast meat, ensuring a nice crispy skin.
4. Pulling and Saucing the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the bones and discard the skin. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss the pulled chicken in a bowl with your favorite BBQ sauce until well coated but not overly saturated.
5. Assembling the Sliders:
- Lay out the slider buns in a baking dish. Place a layer of Gouda cheese on the bottom halves.
- Add the saucy pulled chicken over the cheese, followed by a generous helping of red onions.
- Top with Colby Jack cheese for a double-cheese experience.
- Drizzle a bit more BBQ sauce, then cap with the top halves of the slider buns.
6. Finishing Touches:
- Brush the tops of the sliders with melted butter and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning for an extra pop of flavor.
- Cover the sliders with foil and place them back on the grill for about 15 minutes to melt the cheese and warm through.
7. Serving:
- Remove the sliders, let them cool slightly, and they're ready to be pulled apart and enjoyed. Each bite gives you the perfect combination of smoky chicken, tangy sauce, and melted cheese.
Enjoy!!
