About That Golden Mustard
Sweet Baby Ray's Golden Mustard is my secret weapon in this recipe. It's got this amazing zingy flavor that's different from regular honey mustard. You can usually find it at Walmart or other grocery stores but don't worry if you can't regular honey mustard works great too!
Common Questions About Cooking
- → Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?
You can cook the chicken and bacon ahead of time. When ready to serve, just assemble and broil the sliders. Keep the lettuce and tomato separate until serving to prevent soggy buns.
- → What can I substitute for Hawaiian rolls?
Any dinner rolls or slider buns work well. Just make sure they're sturdy enough to hold the fillings. Brioche rolls make a great substitute for a similar sweet taste.
- → How spicy is the blackened seasoning?
The seasoning has a moderate kick from the cayenne pepper. You can reduce or omit the cayenne for a milder version, or add more for extra heat.
- → Can I use chicken breasts instead of tenders?
Yes, chicken breasts work great. Just slice them thin or pound them to even thickness so they cook quickly and evenly like tenders would.
- → How do I keep the sliders warm for a party?
Cover them loosely with foil after assembly. The foil keeps them warm but prevents them from getting soggy. You can also keep them in a low-temperature oven (200°F) for up to 30 minutes.
