Helpful Tips
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder sauce, start with less sriracha and gradually add more until you reach your desired spice level. You can also substitute the sriracha with a milder hot sauce for a different flavor profile.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time. Simply fry the chicken and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the chicken in the oven to maintain its crispiness before assembling the sliders.
- Add Extra Crunch: For an extra layer of texture, consider adding some pickled vegetables or crispy fried onions on top of the chicken before drizzling with sauce. This will add a delightful crunch and an additional flavor dimension to your sliders.
