Notes
● What else can I add to the sliders?
You can add caramelized onions, lettuce, or even fresh avocado. ● What is the best chicken for the sliders?
You can make chicken for the sliders, but make sure you season the chicken well. I really like using rotisserie chicken because it has so much flavor, or you can use leftover chicken. ● What is an easy way to add bacon to the recipe?
You can use pre-cooked bacon and pop it in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350° F or until crispy and crumbly. ● What goes with the sliders?
You can serve a side salad, French fries, or as an appetizer at your next get-together. ● How Do I Store The Leftovers?
You can keep sliders in the fridge for up to 3 days. I have never frozen the sliders, but online I have found that you can wrap them in aluminum foil. You can then heat them up at 350° F. for 10-15 minutes. I would add the tomatoes to the sandwiches after they have been heated up. Oh my! Don’t we all love a good slider? Sliders are so fun because if you don’t have all the ingredients, you can add whatever you have on hand. ● Don’t overcook the sliders, as the tops will get too hard. ● Also, don’t overcook the bacon. You just want it to be crumbly.
