Description

Maple Chicken Bacon Sliders are deliciously sweet and savory mini sandwiches featuring tender shredded chicken, crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and a rich maple glaze on soft slider buns. These sliders are perfect for game day, parties, or an easy yet flavorful dinner option.

Ingredients

Slider Components

  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese

Maple Glaze & Topping

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while you prepare the sliders.
  2. Prepare Slider Buns: Slice the 12 slider buns in half horizontally and place all the bottom halves evenly in a baking dish.
  3. Layer Chicken: Spread the shredded cooked chicken evenly over each of the bottom bun halves to form a base layer.
  4. Add Bacon: Sprinkle the chopped cooked bacon pieces evenly atop the shredded chicken for a crispy, savory layer.
  5. Top with Cheese: Lay 6 slices of cheddar cheese over the chicken and bacon mixture, distributing it evenly among the sliders.
  6. Drizzle Maple Syrup: Lightly drizzle 1/4 cup maple syrup over the cheese and fillings to add sweetness and glaze.
  7. Assemble Sliders: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the fillings to close the sandwiches.
  8. Prepare Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder; mix well.
  9. Brush Topped Buns: Generously brush this butter-mustard mixture over the tops of the slider buns to enhance flavor and crispness.
  10. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to warm through.
  11. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the tops turn golden-brown and slightly crisp.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the baked sliders for a fresh finish and serve warm.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken can save time and add extra flavor.
  • For added zing, consider including pickles or caramelized onions inside the sliders.
  • Ensure bacon is crispy before chopping to maintain texture.
  • Brush the butter mixture thoroughly for a rich golden crust on the buns.
  • These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
