Description

Maple Chicken Bacon Sliders are sweet and savory mini sandwiches made with tender shredded chicken, crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and a delightful maple glaze, all nestled in soft slider buns. These sliders are perfect for parties, game day gatherings, or quick and satisfying weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Slider Ingredients

  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese

Maple Glaze & Topping

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders evenly.
  2. Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish, arranging them to fit snugly.
  3. Add Chicken Layer: Evenly spread the shredded cooked chicken over the bottom halves of the slider buns to form the protein base.
  4. Top with Bacon: Sprinkle the chopped cooked bacon evenly over the shredded chicken to add a crispy, savory element.
  5. Add Cheese: Place slices of cheddar cheese over the chicken and bacon mixture to ensure melted, gooey cheese throughout.
  6. Maple Syrup Drizzle: Lightly drizzle maple syrup over the filling to introduce a sweet glaze flavor that complements the savory ingredients.
  7. Cover with Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the prepared fillings, completing the sandwiches.
  8. Prepare Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder thoroughly.
  9. Brush Tops: Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the slider buns to help them brown beautifully in the oven.
  10. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent drying out and bake for 10 minutes to warm through and melt the cheese.
  11. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the baked sliders for a fresh, colorful finish and serve them warm immediately.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken significantly reduces preparation time and adds extra flavor.
  • For added taste and texture, consider adding pickles or caramelized onions inside the sliders.
  • Ensure the bacon is well-cooked and crisp for the best texture contrast.
  • Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste if a sweeter or subtler glaze is preferred.
  • Leftover sliders can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best freshness.
