Slider Assembly
Hot Honey Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust for heat preference)
- Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts or thighs until fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Prepare Hot Honey Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey and chili flakes. Adjust the chili flakes amount based on your desired spice level.
- Assemble Sliders: Slice the cooked chicken into smaller pieces suitable for sliders. Lightly toast the slider buns if desired. Place chicken on the bottom halves of the buns, drizzle generously with the hot honey sauce, then cover with the top halves.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.
- Slider buns can be lightly toasted in a skillet or oven for added texture.
- Adjust chili flakes heat to your preference; you can also substitute with hot sauce or fresh chopped chili.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for a larger crowd.
