Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into slider-sized patties.

Cook the Chicken Sliders: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

Make the Slaw: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Sriracha, salt, and pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss until fully coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble the Sliders: On each slider bun, place a chicken patty, top with a generous scoop of slaw, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty squeeze. Enjoy your Sriracha Lime Chicken Sliders with your favorite side dish!
