Allergens

Soy, Gluten (depending on buns used)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 8 slider buns, split and toasted
  • 2 cups shredded coleslaw
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together hot sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into small, even sized cubes and add them to a resealable plastic bag or container.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and ensure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the container and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto metal skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Grill the chicken skewers for 6 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred on all sides. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter and a pinch of hot sauce (optional). Spread the mixture onto the cut side of each slider bun.
  7. Place the toasted buns on a platter, top with the grilled chicken skewers, and evenly distribute coleslaw among the sliders. Add the top half of the buns and serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the chicken to rest after grilling to prevent the juice from running out during slicing, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.

Notes

Make sure to use metal skewers for grilling as they are less likely to burn than wooden ones.
