Sliders:

Step 1: Place chicken in a pot, add enough water to cover the chicken breasts. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. When chicken is done you should be able to flake it into shreds with a fork.

Step 2: Drain most of the water from the chicken but leave a little to help mix the sauce in better. Add the BBQ sauce, Tabasco, and Pepper to taste.

Step 3: Toast buns, set aside. Sauté onions and add to the chicken mixture.

Step 4: Assemble sliders.

Deviled Eggs:

Step 1: Cut boiled eggs sideways and remove the yolk into a bowl. Set aside the rest of the egg.

Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients to the yolk and mix well. If you want the center filling of the egg to be less firm add more mayo.

Step 3: Add the yolk mixture back to the white part of the egg, sprinkle with cayenne pepper!

How did I just get hungry writing this recipe? :)
