Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 12 slider-sized pieces
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls are recommended)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded coleslaw mix (optional)
- 12 pickle chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture until fully coated, shaking off any excess. This creates a light, crispy crust that holds the sauce perfectly.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken pieces in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, and melted butter. This mixture creates a glossy, spicy, and sweet glaze. For more heat, you can add an extra splash of hot sauce; for more sweetness, add a teaspoon more honey.
- While the chicken is still warm, toss the pieces into the bowl with the spicy honey glaze. Ensure each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated in the sauce. The warmth of the chicken helps the glaze set and soak into the crust.
- Slice the slider buns in half. Place a piece of the glazed chicken on each bottom bun. Top with a pickle chip and a small spoonful of coleslaw if desired. Place the top bun over the chicken and serve immediately while hot.
