Chicken and Waffle Sliders
A slider version of a Southern favorite, made easy. These fun sliders made with mini waffles, chicken nuggets and a flavored maple syrup are a quick and easy snack or appetizer. Old and young alike will love the sweet and savory combination.
Servings: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- ½ cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter melted
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme optional
- 1-2 teaspoon Hot sauce optional
- 12 Frozen breaded chicken nuggets
- 24 Frozen or homemade mini waffles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- In a small saucepan bring the syrup, butter, thyme and hot sauce to a boil, then remove from heat and pour ½ of this mixture into a large bowl.
- Cook chicken nuggets in the oven or air fryer according to package directions, use an air fryer for the crispiest results. Remove and toss the nuggets into the bowl with the flavored syrup, tossing to coat the chicken.
- Lay out mini waffles in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with a wire rack or aluminum foil.
- Toast mini waffles in the oven until lightly toasted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Top 12 mini waffles with the glazed chicken nuggets and top with the remaining waffles. You can use a toothpick pressed through the center to hold the sliders together.
- Serve sliders immediately with extra flavored syrup.
Notes
- These sliders are best when served immediately and do not hold well as leftovers as the waffle gets soggy from the syrup in a short amount of time.
- For an interesting twist you can serve with dill, sweet or bread and butter pickle slices.
