Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 12 equal pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work well)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup shredded coleslaw mix (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In a second dish, beat the eggs with the buttermilk. Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
  2. Cook the chicken: Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove chicken and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  3. Make the hot honey glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium-low heat until warm and well combined, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
  4. Glaze the chicken: Place the cooked chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour the hot honey glaze over the chicken and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Assemble the sliders: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns horizontally. Place the bottom halves of the buns on a baking sheet. Top each bottom bun with a piece of glazed chicken, a few pickle slices, and a small amount of coleslaw mix if using. Place the top buns on.
  6. Bake: Brush the tops of the assembled sliders with melted butter. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the buns are lightly toasted and the filling is heated through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a less spicy glaze, start with 1 tablespoon of hot sauce and taste before adding more.
  • If you prefer not to fry, you can bake or air fry the chicken pieces until done, then toss them in the hot honey glaze.
  • Hawaiian rolls are the best rolls for small sandwiches because their slight sweetness complements the spice.
