Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded cooked chicken

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional: Pickles, sliced onions, or coleslaw for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with mini muffin liners for easy removal.

    Prepare the BBQ Chicken Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with your chosen BBQ sauce. Stir thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the muffin batter.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Use a whisk to blend these dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps.

        Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

          Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s important not to overmix—some small lumps are perfectly fine. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a tablespoon, scoop about one tablespoon of the corn muffin batter into each mini muffin cup. Then, take another tablespoon of the BBQ chicken mixture and place it on top of each muffin batter.

              Bake the Sliders: Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Assemble: Allow the mini sliders to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. If you wish, slice each muffin in half horizontally and add your choice of toppings such as pickles, sliced onions, or coleslaw.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Stack the BBQ chicken muffin halves to create sliders, and serve them warm as delightful bite-sized snacks at your next gathering!
