Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

These sliders combine the spicy kick of buffalo wings with the convenience of a handheld sandwich. They are perfect for game day, parties, or a fun family dinner. The mix of tender chicken, tangy sauce, and soft buns makes every bite irresistible.

Step 1

In a big bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, and wing sauce. If the mixture feels a bit dry, add a splash of water until it’s just sticky enough to hold together. Then, shape the mixture into small patties about 3 inches wide.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 3

Toast your buns if you like, then pile the patties on and enjoy!
