Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken tenders with blackened seasoning and oil. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat, ensuring a tasty and well-seasoned base for the sliders.
Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken tenders for approximately 3 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and nicely charred, which adds a smoky, flavorful crust to the meat.
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with chopped parsley and minced garlic. Slightly melt the mixture, either in the microwave or on the stove, to make it easy to spread evenly on the buns later.
Toast Buns: Slice the Hawaiian slider buns in half. Place them cut side up under a broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Toasting brings out a golden-brown color and adds a pleasing crunch to the buns.
Assemble Sliders: Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the buns. Layer each with a cooked chicken tender, drizzle on honey mustard, and add a slice of Colby Jack cheese to create a creamy, tangy, and melty base for the toppings.
Finish Sliders: Spread the garlic parsley butter on the top halves of the buns and return them to the broiler until the cheese on the sliders melts and becomes bubbly. Then top each slider with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and onions if using. Drizzle any remaining honey mustard over the toppings for extra flavor.
Serve: Place the top buns onto the sliders, slice each slider in half for easy eating, and serve warm to enjoy the perfect combination of juicy chicken, crisp toppings, and flavorful spreads.

Notes

Pre-cooked bacon strips save time and simplify the cooking process.
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter and healthier option.
Customize the blackened seasoning with your preferred spice blend if desired.
Keep a close eye on the buns while broiling to prevent burning.
Slider buns can be replaced with dinner rolls if Hawaiian buns are unavailable.
