How to cook deliciously - Mini Hot Chicken and Waffle Sliders

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2 . Stage

Place 20 chicken nuggets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve any remaining nuggets for another use.

3 . Stage

Bake nuggets in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Flip and bake until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes more.

4 . Stage

Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Heat butter, maple syrup, canola oil, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne, kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. If sauce thickens too much, reduce heat to low and whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Keep warm.

5 . Stage

As the sauce is cooking, toast waffles, then separate each one into 4 mini waffles.

6 . Stage

Assemble sliders: Place a chicken nugget on top of a waffle and top with 1 heaping teaspoon slaw. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sauce, top with a pickle slice, and place a second waffle on top. Secure slider with a toothpick or skewer, if desired. Repeat to make remaining sliders. Serve with extra sauce.
