Step 1

Preheat your grill to 350 degrees. This will ensure that the grill is hot enough to cook the chicken and toast the buns to perfection.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with Super Bird by Fire & Smoke Society. This seasoning blend will add a delicious smoky and spicy flavor to the chicken.

Step 3

Slice the large onion and set aside. Slicing the onion thinly will allow it to cook faster and caramelize evenly on the grill.

Step 4

Cook the bacon on a griddle or skillet on the grill until crispy. The bacon will add a salty and smoky flavor to the sliders, and cooking it on the grill will infuse it with a delicious charred flavor.

Step 5

Add the onions to the same skillet and cook until tender. This will take about 5-7 minutes, depending on how thinly you sliced the onions.

Step 6

Sear the chicken thighs on the opposite side of the grill until nicely charred and the internal temperature is 175 degrees. Cooking the chicken on the opposite side of the grill will allow it to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Once rested, cube the chicken. This will make it easier to assemble the sliders and ensure that every bite has a perfect balance of chicken and toppings.

Step 8

To make the Spicy Garlic Aioli Sauce, mix together mayonnaise, garlic paste, and buffalo wing sauce. This sauce will add a delicious tangy and spicy kick to the sliders, and the garlic paste will add a subtle depth of flavor.

Step 9

Assemble the sliders by adding a slice of Gruyère cheese to the bottom of each bun, followed by chopped chicken, bacon, onions, and another slice of cheese. The cheese will melt and bind all the toppings together, creating a delicious and satisfying slider.

Step 10

Melt the butter and brush it on top of the buns. This will add a delicious buttery flavor and help the buns toast evenly on the grill. Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning on top of the buns for added flavor and texture.

Step 11

Place the sliders on a baking sheet for easier transport. This will prevent the sliders from falling apart or getting squished during transport. Place the baking sheet on the grill opposite the heat and cook until the cheese is fully melted. This will take about 3-5 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is.

Step 12

Serve the sliders with the Spicy Garlic Aioli Sauce on the side for dipping. This will allow your guests to customize their sliders to their liking and add a delicious burst of flavor to every bite. Enjoy!
