Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Patties
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Slider Assembly
- 6 slider buns
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup sliced tomatoes
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or your preferred sauce)
- ¼ cup pickles (optional)
- Cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Chicken Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into six equal portions and shape each into a small patty approximately 2 inches in diameter to fit perfectly on the slider buns.
- Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken patties.
- Cook Patties: Place the chicken patties in the heated skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy.
- Toast Buns: While the patties cook, lightly toast the slider buns in a separate pan or oven to add a crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
- Assemble Sliders: Spread mayonnaise or your preferred sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a chicken patty, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles if desired for added crunch and flavor.
- Finish with Top Bun: Place the top half of the bun on each slider to complete the assembly. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
