Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
6 slider buns
1 cup coleslaw mix
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sliced pickles for topping (optional)

Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare Coleslaw: In another bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Cook Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns and place a piece of chicken on each bun. Top with a generous scoop of coleslaw and sliced pickles if desired. Close the sliders and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Serve: Enjoy the sliders warm with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
