These fun Mini Chicken and Waffler Sliders combine crispy chicken with fluffy waffles for a sweet and savory bite you can serve any time of the day. Top with sticky maple syrup for the ultimate comfort food!
Assemble the sliders by placing a chicken nugget on a waffle.
Top with your favorite condiment like slaw, hot honey, cheddar cheese, or maple syrup.
Top with another waffle and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Notes
You can use chicken nuggets or chicken tenders/chicken fingers. Note that you can get 2-3 sliders from each tender depending on the size of them.
Starting with a plain chicken breast? Make a breading from a flour mixture with spices like garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
I like to use the mini waffles but if you cant find them feel free to use the whole waffle, just cut them in quarters to fit the nuggets.
My favorite brands are Eggo waffles and Bare chicken nuggets.
If making these ahead of time, keep everything separate and assemble right before eating so they don’t get soggy.
You can always put your waffle maker to use and cook a bunch ahead of time and freeze until ready. More budget friendly that way too. And you can add more flavor options.
Want them spicy? Sprinkle with cayenne pepper, some hot sauce, or a few slices of pickled jalapeno peppers.
