Ingredients
Scale
Slider Buns & Cheese
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 count)
- 8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
Meat & Toppings
- ⅓ cup Cooked Bacon, crumbled
- 2 cups Fried Chicken Tenders, roughly chopped
- ½ cup Honey Mustard, plus more for dipping
Fresh Add-ins & Seasoning
- ½ large Avocado, cubed
- ¼ cup Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
- 1 pinch Flaky Salt
Instructions
- Prepare slider buns and cheese: Split the pretzel slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the slices of pepper jack cheese over both the top and bottom halves of the buns, then sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon over the cheese.
- Broil the buns: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts beautifully and the buns are warmed through and golden brown on the edges. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Coat the chicken: While the buns are broiling, toss the roughly chopped fried chicken tenders with ½ cup of honey mustard until they are fully coated and flavorful.
- Assemble the sliders: Once the buns are ready, top the cheese and bacon with the honey mustard-coated fried chicken pieces. Then add the cubed avocado and quartered cherry tomatoes on top. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Close the slider buns and gently pull them apart to separate. Serve the sliders warm alongside extra honey mustard for dipping and enjoy this delicious combination of tastes and textures.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon if preferred.
- For homemade honey mustard, mix equal parts honey and mustard with a little mayo or Greek yogurt for creaminess.
- If you don’t have a broiler, warm the buns in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 5 minutes and then melt the cheese under a grill pan on the stove.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead by assembling everything but the avocado and tomatoes; add fresh just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- For a spicier kick, use spicy mustard or add a dash of hot sauce to the honey mustard coating.
