Ingredients

Scale

Slider Components

  • 8 slider buns
  • 8 pieces fried chicken tenders or small chicken cutlets

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup hot honey (honey infused with chili or hot sauce)
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup coleslaw (shredded cabbage and carrots with dressing)

Instructions

  1. Assemble the base: Place each piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of the slider buns, ensuring they fit well and maintain their crispiness.
  2. Drizzle with hot honey: Generously drizzle hot honey over each piece of fried chicken to add a perfect balance of sweetness and heat.
  3. Add pickles and slaw: Top each slider with sliced pickles and a spoonful of fresh coleslaw to add tanginess and crunch.
  4. Complete the slider: Place the top half of the bun over the toppings to finish the slider and serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly fried chicken for best crispiness, or reheat fried chicken in an oven or air fryer to retain texture.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred spice level.
  • Coleslaw can be made ahead of time and refrigerated to save preparation time.
  • Slider buns can be lightly toasted for extra flavor and texture.
