Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Sriracha, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Form Chicken Patties:

        - Divide the chicken mixture into equal parts and form mini patties, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. You should yield about 8 to 10 sliders.

          Cook the Chicken Patties:

            - Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little oil if needed. Cook the chicken patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and have a nice golden crust.

              Prepare the Slaw:

                - In a separate bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro. In another small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat. Set aside.

                  Assemble the Sliders:

                    - Toast the slider buns briefly if desired. Place a cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of each slider bun, top with a generous scoop of the slaw, and drizzle with extra Sriracha if you like a little more heat. Add the top half of the bun.

                      Serve and Enjoy:

                        - Serve the Sriracha Lime Chicken Sliders warm with lime wedges and extra Sriracha on the side for dipping.
