Ingredients

1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 count)
8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
⅓ cup Cooked Bacon (crumbled)
2 cups Fried Chicken Tenders (roughly chopped)
½ cup Honey Mustard (plus more for dipping)
½ large Avocado (cubed)
¼ cup Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
1 pinch Flaky Salt

Instructions

Step 1: Split the pretzel slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the pepper jack cheese over both halves and sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top.
Step 2: Place the buns under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and the buns are warm and golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 3: While the buns are warming, toss the chopped fried chicken tenders with honey mustard until they are thoroughly coated.
Step 4: Once the buns are ready, layer the honey mustard fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Then add the cubed avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt over the top.
Step 5: Close up the buns and gently pull the sliders apart. Serve immediately with extra honey mustard on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Use smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne in the honey mustard for a spicy kick.
Swap out pepper jack cheese for cheddar or Swiss for a different flavor profile.
For a fresher option, add some crisp lettuce or baby spinach to the sliders.
If you don’t have pretzel buns, regular slider buns or mini brioche buns work just as well.

Storage

Store any leftover slider components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The buns are best toasted fresh before serving again. Reheat the chicken and bacon in the oven or microwave, then assemble with fresh avocado and tomatoes for best results.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

You can prepare the ingredients in advance, but it’s best to assemble and toast the sliders right before serving to keep the buns soft and the toppings fresh.

What can I use instead of fried chicken tenders?

Grilled or baked chicken pieces work well as a healthier option. Just toss them in honey mustard before assembling the sliders.

1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 count)
8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese

Fillings

⅓ cup Cooked Bacon (crumbled)
2 cups Fried Chicken Tenders (roughly chopped)
½ cup Honey Mustard (plus more for dipping)
½ large Avocado (cubed)
¼ cup Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
1 pinch Flaky Salt

Instructions

Prepare the Buns: Split the pretzel slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the Pepper Jack cheese slices over both halves, then sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon on top.
Broil the Buns: Place the baking sheet under the oven broiler for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and the buns are warmed through and turned golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Toss the Chicken: While the buns are broiling, toss the roughly chopped fried chicken tenders in half a cup of honey mustard sauce to thoroughly coat each piece.
Assemble the Sliders: Once the buns are ready, layer the honey mustard-coated fried chicken pieces onto the bottom halves of the sliders. Then, add the cubed avocado and quartered cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt over the toppings for extra flavor.
Serve: Close the sliders by placing the top halves of the buns over the fillings. Pull them apart gently to serve. Provide additional honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the taste.

Notes

For best results, keep a close watch when broiling as pretzel buns can burn quickly.
You can substitute Pepper Jack cheese with sharp cheddar or your preferred melting cheese.
Use freshly cooked bacon for optimum flavor and texture.
If you prefer, the fried chicken tenders can be baked instead of fried for a lighter option.
Customize the amount of honey mustard to suit your taste preference, adding more or less as desired.
To make the sliders spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the honey mustard chicken mix.
