Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)

1/2 cup whole grain mustard

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

8 slider buns (mini burger buns)

1 cup coleslaw (premade or homemade)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Adjust the seasoning to taste.

    Combine Chicken and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the tangy mustard mixture. Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the sauce.

      Heat the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard BBQ chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat.

        Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous scoop of the tangy mustard BBQ chicken mixture.

          Add Coleslaw: Top the chicken with a small handful of coleslaw for crunch and freshness.

            Finish the Sliders: Place the top half of the bun on each slider. Optionally, you can brush the top buns with a little melted butter for extra flavor.

              Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the sliders on a platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
