Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces, about 2-3 inches in length. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Prepare a three-part breading station with all-purpose flour, whisked eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally roll in panko breadcrumbs. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  5. Fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  8. Optionally, toast the slider buns under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Assemble the sliders with honey mustard sauce, a piece of fried chicken, and cheddar cheese.
  10. Serve immediately while warm with favorite sides.
