Make crowd-pleasing Hot Honey Chicken Sliders. These sliders feature crispy chicken coated in a perfect sweet and spicy hot honey glaze, ideal for your next gathering.

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts: 1.5 lbs, cut into slider-sized pieces
  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
  • Cornstarch: 1/2 cup
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Paprika: 1 teaspoon
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: 1/2 cup
  • Hot Sauce (your favorite): 1/4 cup
  • Honey: 1/2 cup
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 2 tablespoons
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
  • Slider Buns: 12 count
  • Butter, softened (for buns): 2 tablespoons
  • Pickles (optional): for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken dredge. Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika in one shallow dish.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk in a second shallow dish.
  3. Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture, pressing to coat well.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on a wire rack.
  5. Make the hot honey glaze. Combine hot sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and melted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Toss the fried chicken pieces in the hot honey glaze until fully coated.
  7. Lightly toast the slider buns with softened butter.
  8. Assemble the sliders: Place coated chicken on the bottom bun. Top with a pickle slice if desired, then place the top bun on.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your fix!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can double-fry the chicken pieces briefly.
  • Adjust the hot sauce amount in the glaze to control the spice level for your guests.
  • Noah suggests ensuring your frying oil temperature stays consistent for even cooking.
  • Ben recommends trying crushed potato chips in the flour dredge for extra texture.
