???? Tips & Tricks

Use rotisserie chicken: A great time-saver and it adds a rich, roasted flavor to the sliders.
Make it ahead: Prepare the chicken and slaw a few hours ahead. Assemble just before serving to avoid soggy buns.
Go low-carb: Use lettuce wraps or low-carb buns if you want to skip the bread.
Adjust the heat: Add more or less sriracha depending on how spicy you like it.
Add toppings: Crushed peanuts, sliced radish, or even a drizzle of extra sauce can take these sliders to the next level!
