Ingredients

1 lb Boneless chicken thighs
28 oz Can of pickled jalapenos
4 Potato buns
4 Cheese slices
3 tbsp Dad's Sweet BBQ rub
1 tbsp Mayo

Instructions

Place boneless chicken thighs into a slider bag. Add the juice from pickled jalapenos along with some of the sliced jalapenos. Seal shut.
Marinate in the fridge for 24 hours.
Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the slider bag and season with more Dad's Sweet BBQ rub.
Preheat the grill to high direct heat and place the seasoned thighs directly on the grates.
Grill the marinated chicken thighs about 2-3minutes per side until the internal temp reaches 160 degrees.
Place a slice of cheese over each chicken piece and let it melt. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees.
Toast up the slider buns.
To assemble, add a layer of mayo on the toasted bun, next the spicy chicken with cheese and a crunchy pickled jalapeno on top.

Notes

For best results, marinate overnight. Meal plan the night before and grill for a fresh and delicious dinner.

Instead of thighs use chicken breast for a leaner option. Pound the chicken to an even thickness before marinating. This helps them cook evenly and keeps every bite perfectly moist.
