Fire up the Blackstone griddle on low heat.

Slice onions and prepare King's Hawaiian rolls by slicing them in half.

Add a little oil to the griddle and spread it out.

Place chicken thighs on the griddle and season with Outlaw barbecue seasoning.

Cook the chicken, flipping several times for even cooking.

If the chicken starts to dry out, add more oil around it.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F.

Once cooked, slide the chicken over to one side of the griddle and turn off the burner underneath it.

Add sliced onions to the griddle and sauté them with a little oil.

Toast the bottom halves of the slider buns directly on the griddle without any butter or mayo.

Once the buns are toasted, remove them from the griddle and place them on a cutting board.

Layer the cooked chicken on the bottom buns.

Add a generous amount of American cheese on top of the chicken.

Cover the cheese with a dome lid and add a little water to create steam for melting the cheese.

After about a minute, check to see if the cheese has melted.

Once melted, add sautéed onions on half of the sliders and drizzle Sweet Baby Ray's honey barbecue sauce on top.

Finish by placing the top halves of the buns on the sliders.
