Take note
Always remember to handle raw chicken with care and ensure it is cooked thoroughly to avoid foodborne illnesses. Also, be mindful of the hot grill and use proper grilling tools to avoid burns and accidents.

1

Prep the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, Kansas City BBQ sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have more time, let it marinate for up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.

2

Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Flip the chicken thighs occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3

Assemble the Sliders

To assemble the sliders, lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a layer of extra Kansas City BBQ sauce on the bottom buns. Add a few slices of grilled chicken on top of the sauce. Top with a slice of cheddar cheese, a few pickle slices, and a drizzle of additional BBQ sauce. Place the top bun on, and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
