Ingredients

Slider Patties

  • 1 lb ground Halal chicken
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 6 slider buns
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce, shredded
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, sliced
  • ¼ cup your favorite sauce (barbecue, spicy mayo, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground Halal chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to ensure flavorful patties.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into small portions and shape each into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter, so they fit nicely on the slider buns.
  3. Cook Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil to prevent sticking. Cook each patty for 5-6 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Toast Buns: While the patties cook, slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Lightly toast the buns in a separate pan until golden and slightly crisp, which enhances texture and flavor.
  5. Assemble Sliders: Start with the bottom bun, then layer shredded lettuce, a cooked chicken patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, a slice of tomato, and a generous spread of your favorite sauce. Top with the bun lid to complete each mini slider.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your choice like Swiss or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • Use gluten-free buns to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
  • Adjust seasoning and sauce spiciness to your taste preferences.
  • For juicier patties, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
  • Leftover sliders can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet for best results.
