If you love the combination of crispy, juicy chicken and fluffy waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup, then Chicken & Waffle Sliders are about to be your new favorite appetizer. These mini sandwiches bring together the best of sweet and savory flavors in a bite-sized form, making them perfect for brunches, game day, or any party where you want to impress without spending all day in the kitchen.

Chicken & Waffle Sliders are the perfect mix of crunchy, fluffy, salty, and sweet. You get the crispy fried (or air-fried) chicken, a soft waffle that soaks up the buttery syrup, and the option to add extra toppings like spicy honey or bacon for even more flavor.

Helpful Tips

Use Homemade or Frozen Waffles – If you have time, homemade waffles add extra flavor. But if you’re short on time, frozen mini waffles work great—just toast them until golden and crispy.
Use Homemade or Frozen Chicken – You don’t have to put the effort into making your own fried chicken. You can also buy frozen breaded chicken. But get a quality brand!
Air Fry for a Healthier Twist – If you want a lighter version, skip the deep frying and air fry the chicken. It still gets crispy but without all the oil.
Serve with Dipping Sauces – These sliders pair perfectly with spicy honey, maple butter, or even a little sriracha mayo for a fun flavor boost.
