Spicy Chicken BLT Bagels

This grilled chicken sandwich recipe is packed with flavor from the sriracha and bacon. The buttermilk helps keeps the chicken extra juicy! Big thanks to Thomas’ Breads for sponsoring this post.

It’s summer, yo.

Grab your tongs and head out back to the grill, because it’s time to cook the meats. All the meats. Forever and ever, amen.

What? I like summer and I like my food cooked over a fire, especially if my husband ends up coming out to do the cooking because “he’s the man around here.” <— That never actually happens. He’s perfectly content to let me do the grilling. Darn it.

This time around I thought we could spice things up with some of my buttermilk grilled chicken and a hit of spicy mayo. Because who doesn’t love spicy mayo? Please don’t tell me if you’re not a mayo lover, because then we couldn’t be friends anymore. Mayo is my life.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been all up in the fresh tomatoes lately. They’re juicy and they’re ripe and they are basically begging for a couple of slices of crispy bacon. I went ahead and married all that with the chicken and a warm and toasty mini bagel.

Yeah, that’s right. Bagel sliders. They’re a thing now.

You’ll want to use Thomas’ mini bagels for these. I like the Plain variety, but they also sell 100% whole wheat if you’re into that. The best part about these mini bagels is that you’ll probably have a few left over, so one bag gets you dinner and breakfast and that’s a win. Smear ’em with extra cream cheese or get all wild and crazy and take the toppings from this English muffin recipe and put it on your morning bagel!

Serve these sliders alongside my cauliflower potato salad and some homemade creamed corn.
