Crispy Hot Honey Chicken Sliders
These crispy chicken sliders drizzled with spicy honey are the perfect crowd pleasing meal for any busy weeknight.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about a crispy piece of chicken covered in sweet and spicy honey. These sliders are a family favorite at my house because they are quick to make but always feel like a real treat.
I like to use store bought chicken tenders to keep things simple, but you can certainly fry your own if you have the time. Just make sure to warm your honey slightly so it drizzles perfectly over the crunchy breading.
🧺 Ingredients
- 12 slider buns
- 12 cooked crispy chicken tenders
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce or chili flakes
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 12 slices pickles
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
Whisk the honey and hot sauce together in a small bowl until smooth.
- 3
Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
- 4
Place one cooked chicken tender onto each bottom bun.
- 5
Generously drizzle the hot honey mixture over each piece of chicken.
- 6
Top the chicken with a pickle slice and a bit of shredded lettuce.
- 7

Place the tops on the sliders and bake for 10 minutes until the buns are toasted and the chicken is warmed through.
💡 Tips
Store any leftover chicken separately from the buns so the bread stays fresh. These sliders are excellent served alongside a simple coleslaw or some crispy potato chips.
