Step-by-Step Guide

1. Cook the chicken bites in the air fryer or oven according to the package.

Take the slider buns and slice them whole from the side.

Remove the top layer and set aside.

Mix the mayo with the garlic powder and spread on the bottom of the buns.

Stir to mix.

2. Add the cooked chicken to the bowl and stir until the chicken is completely coated.

Add the chicken all over the buns.

(Note you will probably cut some pickles and chicken, that’s okay!)

Serve and enjoy!

Tips and tricks!

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • You can taste the sauce and see if you’d like to add more hot sauce or not.
  • You can assemble each slider separately if you’d like, I just find it easier and faster to do it this way.
  • You can use whatever hot sauce you’d like, I just think franks is perfect for this recipe.
