Spicy Chicken Sliders
This Spicy Chicken Sliders recipe is perfect for the first week of football and a Labor Day BBQ. You only need a few ingredients and most of the work can be done ahead of time.
I start with a couple whole chickens (about 4-5lbs ea). Remove the chickens from the packaging and discard the giblets. Trim away any excess fat from the neck or cavity area and pat the outer skin dry with paper towels.
Spray the skin with vegetable cooking spray and season with a good dose of Killer Hogs Hot Rub bit.ly/TheHotRub (substitute your favorite spicy seasoning if you want).
Prepare your grill or smoker for indirect cooking at 325 degrees. I used my Traeger pellet grill running on Pecan pellets for flavor. The important part here is to maintain the temperature at 350 degrees for the skin to cook properly.
Place the chickens on the cooking grate and cook for 30 minutes. At this point, insert a wired cooking probe into the breast of one of the birds. I used a Thermoworks DOT for this - bit.ly/ThermoworksDOT
Continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees in the breast. Before removing from the grill, verify the internal temperature with a handheld thermometer (I use a Thermapen for accuracy - bit.ly/H2QThermapen).
Carefully take the chickens off the pit and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Rest on the counter for 20 minutes; then pull the chicken apart by hand (wear some cotton glove liners under nitrile gloves).
To build the spicy chicken sliders I use Hawaiian slider rolls. Separate the roll and start with a few slices of dill pickles.
Top with a good heaping of the pulled chicken drizzled with a spicy white sauce (you can find that recipe below). Place a few slices of pickled red onion on top and the remaining bun top and skewer with a toothpick to hold everything together.
You can assemble this prior to serving or set it up “bar” style for your guests to build their own. 1 whole, smoked chicken will make enough sliders for 8-10 people.

- 1 or 2 Whole Chickens (depending on how many you want to make)
- 2 Tablespoons Killer Hogs Hot Rub
- 16oz Spicy White Sauce *recipe below

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You're a good dad Malcolm - it's always great to spend quality time with your son! And those sliders look delicious!
These chicken “sammiches” look great! 😂
Made this last weekend, it was spectacular!! I usually don't like mayo based food, don't like heavy vinegar and generally find chicken bland. The white bbq sauce was sooo good! No mayo taste. The pickled onions were the perfect compliment. The chicken was moist and delicious. My kids asked for seconds!! I'll be making this many times to come! Put it on a soft, white bread roll to bring it all together. It was the quietest dinner we have ever had as everyone was stuffing their face. My wife even broke her weight watchers commitment for the day after she took "one bite". Good stuff.
Man, it's so good to see you Malcolm. I was having an awful week, my job sucked, my kid was ill, super stressed. I just got home, poured a glass of wine and saw you had uploaded. Oh man. This is the first time I've relaxed this week. Thanks for being my go to chill bbq guru. You da man.
Easily one of the top 5 contributes on youtube when it come to anything barbecue related. I buy his rubs and try just about every recipes he puts out here. Thanks Malcolm!
I made this last weekend and it turned out awesome. I followed the directions to a T... from the chicken , to the sauce and then the pickled onion. I really enjoyed the chicken sliders and so did my husband.
You are one nice kind man. God bless you and your family!
Malcom, I'm an Alabama native living in Australia...it's Father's Day in Australia today, and having your son try the cook with you today was good timing. That's what it's about--sharing with the family. I get excited when my 4 yo son asks for "bones" (ribs). Thanks for the videos.
Malcolm, I love that you bring your son into these videos ! You are such a good Dad and family man - I can tell ! Bring him up through the ranks and maybe he can be the prime and lead one of these videos one day. Maybe not now, but certainly you are doing the right thing. love your show, I’m buying some product.... Keep it up big man !
Watching Malcom try the creations is my favorite part of the videos
The Malcom and Rachelle teamwork just keeps making the dream work!! Thank you again for all you that do!!!
These sliders are amazing!! Malcom knows what he’s doing for sure 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
this channel is underrated
This is dinner for the crew tonight. 8 people in the house staying home and safe. This will be our Sunday night feast. I'm substituting cole slaw for pickled onions. It takes on the white BBQ sauce so well. Bread and Butter pickles. Thanks for this one. Great recipe.
That was cool that you had your son in the video. You seem like such a happy man. Love your videos Malcolm.
