Method

Prepare Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.

Set Up Breading Station

Create a breading station with three shallow dishes for flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.

Bread the Chicken

Coat each piece of chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and press into panko breadcrumbs.

Rest the Chicken

Allow the breaded chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes.

Heat the Oil

In a skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Fry the Chicken

Fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain the Chicken

Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Prepare the Buns

Optionally toast the slider buns until lightly golden.

Assemble the Sliders

Spread honey mustard sauce on each bun, add fried chicken, cheddar cheese, and toppings.
