These crispy buffalo chicken sliders feature a perfect balance of spicy buffalo sauce and creamy homemade blue cheese coleslaw, served on soft slider buns. Quick and easy to make, they are perfect for game days, parties, or casual meals.

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch thick slider-sized pieces
  • All-purpose flour (can swap with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Large eggs, beaten
  • Unsalted butter (about 2 tablespoons) for cooking
  • Buffalo sauce (classic wing sauce like Frank’s RedHot)
  • Green cabbage, finely shredded
  • Carrots, shredded
  • Blue cheese, crumbled (preferably creamy, e.g., Point Reyes or Maytag)
  • Mayonnaise, full-fat
  • Sour cream
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Honey
  • Slider buns (potato buns or brioche sliders)
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch thick slider-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In one bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
  3. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Place coated chicken on a plate.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces without overcrowding and fry 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
  5. Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. While hot, toss gently in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  6. For the blue cheese coleslaw: combine shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over veggies and toss gently. Fold in crumbled blue cheese last.
  7. Slice slider buns in half. Assemble sliders by placing buffalo chicken on the bottom bun, topping with a generous spoonful of blue cheese coleslaw, and finishing with the top bun. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before dredging to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan when frying chicken. Toss chicken in buffalo sauce while hot to keep coating crisp. Blue cheese coleslaw tastes better after resting 15-20 minutes. Slider buns should be soft but sturdy. For gluten-free, use almond or coconut flour and gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. Dairy-free slaw can be made with vegan mayo and coconut yogurt, omitting blue cheese.
