Ingredients

Scale

Slider Buns

  • 6 slider buns

Fried Chicken

  • 6 pieces of fried chicken tenders or small fried chicken fillets

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons chili flakes or hot sauce (adjust to taste)

Pickles & Slaw

  • 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 1 cup coleslaw (prepared or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the hot honey sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey with chili flakes or your preferred hot sauce, mixing well to create a balanced sweet and spicy sauce.
  2. Assemble the sliders: Place each piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of the slider buns to create the base.
  3. Drizzle with hot honey: Spoon the hot honey sauce generously over each piece of fried chicken for that perfect sweet heat.
  4. Add pickles and slaw: Top the hot honey-coated chicken with sliced pickles and a scoop of fresh slaw to add crunch and tanginess.
  5. Complete the sliders: Cover with the top halves of the slider buns and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spiciness of the hot honey by adding more or less chili flakes or hot sauce.
  • For extra crispiness, warm the fried chicken in a hot oven before assembling.
  • Homemade coleslaw with a light vinaigrette complements the heat better than a creamy one if preferred.
  • Try using sweet pickles if you prefer a milder tang.
  • These sliders are best served fresh to keep the buns from getting soggy.
