Delicious BBQ Chicken Sliders

BBQ chicken sliders combine the rich flavours of perfectly grilled chicken, the tangy kick of barbecue sauce, and the comforting texture of soft slider buns. The key to making these sliders truly special lies in the balance of flavours and the attention to detail during each step of the cooking process. 

Ingredients: 

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• Slider buns 
• Your favourite barbecue sauce
• Sliced onion (optional, for topping)
• Cheese slices 
• Olive oil
• Marina Lighthouse Salt and Pepper
• Additional seasonings: Marina Braai Salt with Coriander and Marina Braai Salt with Garlic, for extra flavour

Step-by-step guide: 

1. Prepare the chicken: 

Start by seasoning the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and the additional seasonings. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over them to prevent sticking on the grill. 

2. Grill to perfection: 

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill and each side, depending on the thickness of the pieces. Make sure to brush some barbecue sauce on each side during the last few minutes of grilling to create that delicious glaze. 

3. Melt the cheese: 

During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on top of each chicken piece to let it melt slightly. 

4. Toast the buns: 

While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the slider buns on the grill until they are warm and have a slight crispy texture. 

5. Assemble the sliders: 

Once the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted, it's time to assemble the sliders. Spread a bit of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of BBQ chicken with melted cheese on top of the sauce. 

6. Add toppings: 

Get creative with toppings! You can add a scoop of coleslaw for a refreshing crunch, a few slices of red onion for some zing and even a pickle or two for extra tanginess. 

7. Cover and serve: 

Place the top half of the slider bun over the toppings to complete the sandwich. If you're serving these sliders at a party, consider securing them with toothpicks to prevent any sliding mishaps. 

Whether you're hosting a backyard braai, a poolside party, or just craving a delicious meal, these sliders are a surefire way to satisfy your taste buds and make lasting memories with friends and family. So, fire up the grill, get your ingredients ready, and indulge in the scrumptious goodness of BBQ Chicken Sliders!
