BBQ Barbie - Mini Chicken Sliders image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 36m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
1 large white onion
3 cloves whole garlic
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
6 brioche rolls or roll of choice
8 slices havarti cheese
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, sliced into rings
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium.
  • Finely grind the chicken breast, onion, garlic and ginger together and place in a medium bowl. Add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil and mix thoroughly. Shape this mixture into 2 by 1-inch patties and let rest in the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Toast the brioche rolls, then grill the chicken patties for about 5 to 6 minutes over a medium heat. (Don't try to cook faster over high heat as the outside will be cooked and not the inside.)
  • To finish, place 1 patty on the bottom of each toasted bun, top with cheese, sliced tomato, onion and iceberg lettuce and cover with the bun top.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To make the BBQ sauce, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Shred the chicken breasts with two forks or a meat shredder.
  • To assemble the sliders, brush the slider buns with melted butter and grill until golden brown.
  • Top each bun bottom with a spoonful of the BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, coleslaw, and pickles.
  • Serve the sliders immediately.

Conclusion:

These BBQ chicken sliders are the perfect summer meal. They're easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a crowd. With juicy grilled chicken, tangy BBQ sauce, crunchy coleslaw, and pickles, these sliders are sure to be a hit at your next party or cookout.
