Nashville Hot Honey Butter Chicken Sliders
These Nashville Hot Honey Butter Chicken Sliders start with crispy, golden-fried chicken that’s juicy on the inside and extra crunchy on the outside. But here’s where the magic happens: instead of just tossing the chicken in a classic spicy oil, we drench it in a buttery, sweet, and spicy glaze that takes it to the next level.
Served on soft, fluffy Hawaiian rolls, with a garlic mayo spread and crunchy pickles, these sliders are perfect for game days, parties, or any time you crave something ridiculously good.
