  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 sliders

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Slider buns or small brioche rolls
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Pickles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook via grilling, baking, or using an air fryer until cooked through and juices run clear.
  2. In a bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, sriracha, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the zesty sauce.
  3. Shred the cooked chicken with a fork once cooled slightly. Toss the shredded chicken in the sauce until fully coated.
  4. Spread some of the sauce onto the bottom half of each slider bun.
  5. Layer with lettuce, pickles if desired, and topped with the saucy chicken. Cover with the top bun and secure with a toothpick if needed.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sriracha for milder or spicier sliders.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for added juiciness.
  • Prepare the chicken ahead of time, then assemble just before serving for optimal freshness.
  • For a low-carb option, use lettuce wraps instead of buns.
