👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for extra tenderness).
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of marinated chicken in the flour mixture until coated.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm over low heat until just combined. Drizzle generously over the hot chicken.
  5. Assemble the sliders: layer each bun with a piece of crispy chicken, a drizzle of hot honey, pickles, and a smear of mayo if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
  6. Serve immediately — spicy, sweet, and finger-licking good!
