Chicken Sliders

Chicken sliders are small, handheld sandwiches featuring tender chicken—often grilled, fried, or pulled—served on soft, mini buns or rolls. They typically include toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a variety of sauces, making them a popular appetizer or casual meal in American cuisine. Originating from the broader slider concept in the U.S., they've become a staple at parties, diners, and fast-casual restaurants.
