Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Patties
Mix minced chicken with onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, and spices until well combined. Add breadcrumbs for binding, shape into small patties to fit buns, and lightly fry until golden and cooked through. -
Toast the Slider Buns
Slice buns in half, butter lightly, and toast both sides to golden perfection in a skillet. This adds flavor and keeps the buns from getting soggy. -
Build the Sliders
Spread mayo or garlic sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce (if using), then the hot chicken patty, followed by a slice of cheese. Drizzle ketchup or chili sauce atop for kick. -
Serve or Store
Secure each slider with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately for the ideal melty cheese experience. These also reheat well—just pop them in the microwave or oven for a few minutes.
