Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 8 mini waffles (store-bought or homemade)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into small, slider-sized pieces.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk mixture, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated chicken on a plate.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the mini waffles according to the package instructions or make your own using a waffle iron.
  6. To assemble the sliders, place a piece of fried chicken on a mini waffle and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with another mini waffle to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining chicken and waffles.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To perfect this recipe, ensure your chicken is thoroughly coated with the seasoned flour mixture for a crispy exterior, and fry it until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Use freshly made or high-quality mini waffles to enhance the overall taste and texture. When serving, don’t forget to generously drizzle the sliders with maple syrup to create a harmonious balance of flavors. Enjoy!
