Preparation Steps
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine chipotle peppers in adobo, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Coat chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then cook chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes each side until fully cooked. Let them rest after cooking.
  3. Prepare Honey Chipotle Mayo: Whisk together mayo, honey, and chipotle sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally. On the bottom half, place chicken and cheese, drizzle with mayo, and top with the roll.
  5. Bake the Sliders: Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange sliders in baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 7-10 minutes until cheese melts.
  6. Brush with Hot Honey Butter: Melt butter and mix with honey. Brush the mixture over sliders before serving.
