Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces, about 2-3 inches in length.
  2. Set up your breading station with three separate bowls: mix flour with spices in the first bowl, beat eggs in the second bowl, and place panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
  3. Dredge each piece of chicken in seasoned flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs. Let rest on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Heat enough vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat to cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch.
  5. Carefully add chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken from the skillet and drain excess oil on paper towels.
  7. Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt for the sauce. Chill for 30 minutes.
  8. Lightly toast slider buns if desired to enhance texture.
  9. Spread honey mustard sauce on the bottom half of each slider bun, add a crispy chicken piece, cheese, and any additional toppings. Cap with the top bun.
  10. Serve sliders immediately while warm and crispy.
