Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • a dash of non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce
  • beef bacon
  • slider buns (brioche or potato rolls preferred)
  • 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • cheese slices (sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, provolone, or Swiss)
  • toppings like crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, and tangy pickle chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Beef Bacon: Lay your beef bacon strips in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until crispy. Alternatively, cook in a skillet over medium heat and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
  2. Mix the Chicken Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with hands until just combined.
  3. Form the Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into 10-12 equal portions and form each portion into a small, flat patty, making a slight indentation in the center.
  4. Cook the Chicken Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Whip Up the Maple Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Simmer over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Glaze and Melt: Return the cooked chicken patties to the skillet and brush each with the maple glaze. Top with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
  7. Assemble Your Sliders: Toast slider buns if desired. Spread condiment on the bottom bun, add a glazed chicken patty, crispy beef bacon, and toppings. Crown with the top bun and serve immediately.

Nutrition

Keywords: You can prepare chicken patties ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. For crispy beef bacon, bake on a wire rack. Toasting buns adds texture and prevents sogginess.
