FAQs
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
- Yes, you can prepare the honey garlic chicken and slaw ahead of time and store them separately. Assemble the sliders just before serving to prevent the buns from getting soggy.
How do I store leftovers?
- Store leftover chicken and slaw in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
- Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe. Just shred it and toss it in the honey garlic sauce3.
