For the Chicken
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts Substitute with turkey or tofu for variety.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Use gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika amps up the flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic is a great substitute.
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Adjust according to your preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Try using sea salt or a reduced-sodium alternative.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground is always best.
  • 2 large eggs, beaten Flaxseed meal mixed with water works as a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be used.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can be swapped for olive or coconut oil.
For the Honey Mustard Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

  • 1/4 cup honey Maple syrup can be a vegan option.
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Lemon juice is a good substitute.
For Assembling the Sliders

  • 4 slices cheddar cheese, quartered Swap for Swiss or omit for dairy-free.
  • Lettuce leaves Any leafy greens can fit the bill!
  • Sliced tomatoes Roasted red peppers work as an alternative.
  • Pickle chips Leave them out for less acidity.

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces, roughly 2–3 inches each.
  2. Arrange three shallow dishes: one for flour mixed with spices, another for beaten eggs, and the last for panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken piece in the seasoned flour mixture, dip into beaten eggs, and roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Once all pieces are breaded, let them rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, around 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  9. Taste the honey mustard sauce and adjust flavors as needed.
  10. If desired, toast the slider buns in the oven or skillet until lightly golden.
  11. Spread honey mustard sauce on both halves of each slider bun, then layer on chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
  12. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
