Chicken Sliders Recipe
Discover delicious chicken sliders—perfectly seasoned and easy to make, ideal for gatherings or a quick family meal.
Equipment
- A large frying pan or skillet
- A sharp knife for slicing and dicing
- A cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A small bowl for mixing sauces
- Aluminum foil or baking sheet (if you opt to oven-bake the chicken)
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg beaten
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 12 Slider buns
- 12 small pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato sliced
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Mustard
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Chicken Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Note: Handling the mixture gently will keep your sliders juicy and tender.
Step 2 – Shape and Cook Sliders
- Shape the mixture into small patties, about the size of your slider buns.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
- Warning: Ensure your chicken sliders reach an internal temperature of 165°F to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
Step 3 – Assemble the Sliders
- Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each slider bun.
- Place a chicken patty on each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
- Fact: The key to perfect sliders is in the layering – a bit of sauce on the bottom bun prevents it from getting soggy.
Notes
- To keep your sliders from falling apart, let the cooked patties rest for a couple of minutes before assembling.
- For a cheesy twist, add a slice of your favorite cheese on top of each patty a minute before they finish cooking. It’ll melt perfectly.
