Ingredients
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 count)
- 8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
- ⅓ cup Cooked Bacon (crumbled)
- 2 cups Fried Chicken Tenders (roughly chopped)
- ½ cup Honey Mustard (plus more for dipping)
- ½ large Avocado (cubed)
- ¼ cup Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
- 1 pinch Flaky Salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Split the pretzel slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the pepper jack cheese over both halves, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top.
- Step 2: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely until the cheese has melted and the buns are warm and golden brown.
- Step 3: While the buns are warming, toss the chopped fried chicken tenders with the honey mustard until evenly coated.
- Step 4: Once the slider buns are ready, layer on the honey mustard-coated fried chicken, then add the cubed avocado and quartered cherry tomatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
- Step 5: Close the buns, gently pull them apart, and serve immediately with extra honey mustard on the side for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- For an extra kick, add a few slices of jalapeño or a drizzle of hot sauce to the sliders.
- If you prefer a milder cheese, swap pepper jack for mozzarella or cheddar.
- Use grilled chicken instead of fried for a lighter version.
- Toast the buns for a firmer texture before adding toppings if you like them less soft.
Storage
Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melty and the chicken is heated through. Avoid microwaving to keep the buns from becoming soggy.

FAQs
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Ingredients
Sliders
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 count)
- 8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
- ⅓ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 cups fried chicken tenders, roughly chopped
- ½ cup honey mustard (plus more for dipping)
- ½ large avocado, cubed
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 pinch flaky salt
Instructions
- Prepare the buns: Split the pretzel slider buns in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the Pepper Jack cheese slices over both halves, then sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon on top of the cheese.
- Broil the buns: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and the buns become warm and golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Toss the chicken: While the buns are broiling, place the roughly chopped fried chicken tenders into a bowl and toss them with the ½ cup honey mustard until the chicken is well coated in the sauce.
- Assemble the sliders: Once the buns are ready, layer the honey mustard coated fried chicken over the melted cheese and bacon. Then add the cubed avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt over each slider for added flavor.
- Serve: Close the buns and gently pull the sliders apart. Serve immediately with extra honey mustard on the side for dipping to enhance the flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute fried chicken tenders with grilled or baked chicken for a lighter option.
- If you prefer less spice, use milder cheese such as Monterey Jack instead of Pepper Jack.
- To make ahead, prepare all components except broiling the buns; broil just before serving to keep buns fresh and cheese melted.
- Flaky salt adds a nice crunch and seasoning; if unavailable, use a sprinkle of regular sea salt.
