Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Chicken: Start by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 2-3 inch pieces for slider-sized portions. Set aside.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Organize your workstation with three shallow dishes. Combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in one, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in the last.
  3. Bread Chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in seasoned flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then roll through breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  4. Rest: Place breaded chicken pieces on a plate and let them rest for 10-15 minutes to set the coating.
  5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high until shimmering, about 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry Chicken: Add breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Drain: Transfer cooked chicken to a wire rack lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  8. Make Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  9. Prepare Buns: Toast slider buns in a skillet or oven until lightly golden.
  10. Assemble Sliders: Spread honey mustard sauce on buns, layer crispy chicken, cheese, and optional toppings. Top with another bun half.
  11. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the burst of flavors!
