Crispy Baked Chicken Sliders

These crispy baked chicken sliders are a delicious bite for a holiday party or game-day get-together. 

Crispy Baked Chicken Sliders

From the department of “Everything is Cuter in Mini Size” I present these little crispy baked chicken sliders that take less than 40 minutes to make and satisfy a craving for a certain fast food chicken sandwich that you can’t get on Sundays. Although, instead of fried the chicken is breaded and baked and instead of a normal-sized sandwich they’re served up slider-style which is decidedly better because like I mentioned, everything is cuter when it’s served up itty-bitty.

These chicken sliders fit right in at holiday parties and game-day get-togethers.

Some Ingredients You’ll Need

• I borrowed from my breaded baked chicken recipe, which is my favorite way to make crispy baked chicken. But instead of baking the breaded chicken in whole pieces I first cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to fit slider buns.
• Instead of dredging the chicken with beaten egg and flour, I like to coat the pieces with a combination of mustard and mayonnaise before tossing them with panko breadcrumbs and regular dried breadcrumbs. The mayo and mustard not only helps the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken, but they also add a lot of flavor to the cooked chicken.
• I like to cook the chicken on a baking rack with a baking sheet. This allows the hot air to circulate around the chicken pieces so the bottom of the chicken is as crispy as the top. The chicken only needs about 20 minutes to cook in a 400°F oven.
• To assemble the chicken sliders it’s as simple as smearing some mayo on the slider buns, topping each with a piece of breaded chicken followed by a few pickle slices. Gather a few friends for some holiday cheer and pass these little bites around for the best experience.

Happy slider-making!
