Main Ingredients
- 4 frozen chicken fingers
- 32 frozen mini waffles
- 1 cup cole slaw
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Toothpicks, for assembling
Instructions
- Cook Chicken and Waffles: Prepare the frozen chicken fingers and mini waffles following the package instructions carefully, ensuring they are fully cooked and crispy.
- Cut Chicken: Once cooked, cut each chicken finger into 3 to 4 bite-sized pieces to make them slider-appropriate.
- Prepare Waffles: Separate and set apart the toasted mini waffles if they are joined or stacked.
- Assemble Sliders: Place about a scant tablespoon of cole slaw on one toasted mini waffle, then top with a piece of the cut chicken finger.
- Top and Secure: Cover the chicken and slaw with another mini waffle, and secure all layers together by inserting a toothpick through the center to hold the slider in place.
- Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining mini waffles, cole slaw, and chicken pieces in the same manner until all are made.
- Serve: Drizzle the assembled sliders generously with maple syrup and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh cole slaw for best flavor or make your own with shredded cabbage and carrots tossed in a light vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing.
- For a healthier alternative, bake or air-fry the chicken fingers and waffles instead of deep frying.
- Maple syrup can be substituted or enhanced with honey or a spicy honey drizzle for a twist on flavor.
- These sliders are best enjoyed fresh as the waffles can become soggy if left assembled for too long.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free chicken fingers and waffles.
