Instructions
 

Prepare the BBQ Chicken Filling:

    - In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until the chicken is well coated in the sauce. Set aside.

      Make the Corn Muffins:

        - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

          - In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

            - In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.

              - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the corn kernels.

                - Fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full with the corn muffin batter.

                  - Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool slightly.

                    Assemble the Sliders:

                      - Once the corn muffins are cool enough to handle, slice them in half horizontally.

                        - Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken filling onto the bottom half of each muffin.

                          - If desired, top with sliced pickles and a spoonful of coleslaw before placing the top half of the muffin on.

                            - Secure each slider with a toothpick if desired and serve warm.

                              Enjoy these delightful Mini BBQ Chicken Corn Muffin Sliders at your next gathering or game day for a sweet and savory treat!
