Delicious and easy-to-make Hot Honey Chicken Sliders combine tender cooked chicken with a spicy-sweet honey chili sauce, served on soft slider buns. Perfect for a quick meal or party appetizer, these sliders offer a delightful mix of sweet heat and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, boneless and skinless
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

For Assembly:

  • 8 slider buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and black pepper evenly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  2. Make the Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the honey and stir in the chili flakes to infuse the heat evenly. Adjust chili flake quantity based on your heat preference.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the cooked chicken into slider-sized pieces or shred it as preferred. Place a portion on the bottom half of each slider bun, drizzle generously with the hot honey sauce, and top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken for 30 minutes in a mix of olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey to control the spiciness of the sauce.
  • These sliders can be made using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
  • Serve with pickles or coleslaw for added texture and flavor contrast.
