BAR CHICKS - BLACKENED CHICKEN SLIDERS
I liked these that a local restaurant chain made so much, I came up with my own take on this. Blackened chicken with a chipotle aioli and caramelized onion just complement each other well. These are good mini-sized or meal-sized. It's easy to prep ingredients ahead of time and just cook the chicken when you are ready. For large sandwiches, cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces.

Steps:
- Mix white wine, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce together in a resealable bag; add chicken and seal bag. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours.
- Mix 1 tablespoon salt, onion powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and oregano together in a bowl for the blackened seasoning; transfer to a shaker or an air-tight container.
- Place mayonnaise, chives, garlic, 1 teaspoon lime juice, ground chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper in a food processor; pulse together until chives are minced and aioli is smooth and evenly mixed. Transfer to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter together in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 30 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Spray chicken pieces with cooking spray and sprinkle all sides with blackened seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet; cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side.
- Assemble sliders by layering a piece of chicken, a strip of Cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of caramelized onion onto the bottom of each bun. Place a dollop of aioli on the top portion of bun before placing atop onion layer, forming a sandwich.

Tips:
1. Choose the right chicken. The best chicken for blackened chicken sliders is boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. They are lean and cook quickly, making them perfect for this recipe. 2. Make sure your cast iron skillet is hot. A hot skillet is essential for getting that perfect blackened crust on your chicken. Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes before adding the chicken. 3. Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary. 4. Don't move the chicken around too much. Once you add the chicken to the skillet, let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes. This will help to develop that nice blackened crust. 5. Use a good quality blackened seasoning. A good quality blackened seasoning will give your chicken a delicious flavor. Look for a seasoning that contains paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. 6. Serve the sliders immediately. Blackened chicken sliders are best served hot off the grill. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as french fries, onion rings, or coleslaw.Conclusion:
Blackened chicken sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give blackened chicken sliders a try!
