Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these irresistible sliders:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices bacon
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 12 slider buns
- Butter for grilling
Ingredient Swaps and Notes
- Ground turkey can be used instead of chicken for a slightly richer flavor.
- Swap cheddar with pepper jack or Swiss for a different twist.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
- Add a little hot sauce or smoked paprika to the chicken mixture for extra kick.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into small patties sized to fit your slider buns.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the chicken patties over medium heat for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt.
- Butter the slider buns and toast them in a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the sliders: place a cheesy chicken patty on the bottom bun, top with bacon, then add the top bun.
- Serve hot and enjoy every melty, savory bite!
Tips for Success
- Don’t overmix the chicken mixture—this keeps the patties tender.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- Toasting the buns is key—it prevents sogginess and adds texture.
- Cook bacon first and use the same pan for patties to boost flavor.
