Directions

To make the Spicy Chicken Sliders with Cosmic Crisp® Apple Slaw:

  1. Toss the chicken with all the seasonings until completely coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Make the coleslaw: In a large bowl, toss the cabbage mix, Cosmic Crisp® apple, and diced green onion. In a small separate bowl, whisk the mayo, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour the dressing over the slaw and apple mixture, and toss until combined. Set aside.
  3. Grill your chicken thighs for about 3-5 minutes per side or until completely cooked through to desired doneness. Cut into slider-sized pieces, or slice.
  4. Assemble the sliders: spread a layer of mayo on the bottom of the bun, followed by the chicken and a generous amount of the slaw. Place the top bun onto the slider and enjoy!
