Instructions
- Prepare the chicken pieces by cutting them into slider-sized portions.
- Set up the breading station with three shallow dishes: flour mixture, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Bread the chicken by dredging in the flour, then the eggs, and finally coating in panko breadcrumbs.
- Rest the breaded chicken for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken and let it drain on a wire rack.
- Combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the sauce.
- Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the slider buns by toasting them lightly.
- Spread the honey mustard sauce on both halves of each bun.
- Add a fried chicken piece to each bun and top with cheese and desired toppings.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-ahead by prepping the sauce in advance and breading the chicken ahead of time. Avoid overcrowding the skillet when frying.
