Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
