Honey Garlic Chicken Sliders: A Delicious and Convenient Treat

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 slider buns brioche
• 1 cup coleslaw mix (carrots and cabbage)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 green onion thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet if using one.
4. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. If grilling, close the lid for even cooking.
5. Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. This will be your glaze.
6. While the chicken is cooking, in another bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Toss well to combine and set aside.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into small pieces.
8. Assemble the sliders by placing the sliced chicken on the bottom half of the brioche bun, drizzling with the honey garlic glaze. Top with coleslaw and the other half of the bun.
9. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top for garnish.
