Ingredients

Frozen Components

  • 4 frozen chicken fingers
  • 32 frozen mini waffles

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup cole slaw
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Other

  • Toothpicks for assembling

Instructions

  1. Cook chicken and waffles: Prepare the frozen chicken fingers and mini waffles according to their package instructions. Ensure they are fully cooked and warm.
  2. Prepare chicken pieces: Cut each cooked chicken finger into 3-4 bite-sized pieces for easy assembly into sliders.
  3. Separate waffles: Gently break apart the toasted mini waffles to use as the slider buns.
  4. Assemble sliders: Place a small spoonful (about a scant tablespoon) of cole slaw on top of a mini waffle piece.
  5. Add chicken: Place a piece of the cut chicken finger on top of the cole slaw layer.
  6. Top and secure: Add another mini waffle on top of the chicken, then secure the whole slider with a toothpick to hold it together.
  7. Repeat assembly: Continue assembling the remaining sliders with the remaining ingredients.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the assembled sliders with maple syrup just before serving for a sweet finishing touch. Serve immediately to enjoy them warm and crispy.

Notes

  • You can use your preferred brand of frozen chicken fingers and waffles for convenience.
  • For added flavor, consider warming the maple syrup slightly before drizzling.
  • These sliders are best served immediately after assembly to maintain the texture of the waffles and chicken.
  • Coleslaw can be homemade or store-bought depending on your preference.
