Author’s Notes

15-Minute Sandwich Magic!

I’ll start by telling you my middle son called these Hot Honey Chicken Sliders “the best sandwich EVER.” Between these and my oldest son’s favorite crispy chicken sandwiches, I’m set on dinner sandwiches for a while!

I threw this recipe together during one of those wild weeknights where we were running in three different directions, trying to get everyone fed and out the door.

I didn’t have time to make anything from scratch, so I grabbed what I had on hand: frozen chicken tenders, a bag of coleslaw, and some leftover slider rolls. And honestly? It might be the best dinner shortcut I’ve taken in a while!

You can totally make everything from scratch, but I’m not kidding when I say the store-bought route makes one seriously good sandwich, and they’re ready in 15 minutes or less! If you love this one, you need to check out some of my other straightforward dinner recipes!

Ingredients In Hot Honey Chicken Sliders

Brioche Slider Rolls: Look for soft, fresh rolls; toast for better flavor and texture.
Crispy Chicken Strips: I use Tyson, but any brand will work. Air fry or bake until crispy.
Coleslaw Mix: A bagged mix saves time or make your own quick coleslaw recipe!
Coleslaw Dressing: Litehouse is my go-to, but from-scratch works great too.
Hot Honey: This is regular honey with some spice added. (You can make your own!)
Hot Sauce: This brings the heat! Adjust to spice preference.

Sides For Hot Honey Chicken Sliders

Crispy French Fries: Nothing beats fries on the side! Regular or sweet potato.
Potato Chips: Kettle-cooked or spicy chips make the reliable crunchy side.
Macaroni Salad: A creamy side to balance the heat.
Fruit Salad with Yogurt: The reliable sweet and light side.
Baked Beans: Hearty and slightly sweet; they’re reliable with these sliders.

Storage

Store leftover chicken, slaw, and buns separately in airtight containers. Reheat the chicken in an air fryer or oven to keep it crispy. The slaw is best eaten within a day or two. Assemble hot honey chicken sliders fresh.
