Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken
Slice chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces. Toss them into a bowl with buttermilk and 1 tsp Crisp Morning seasoning. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes—or overnight if you’re a planner.

2. Prepare the Coating
Mix flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and the remaining 1 tsp Crisp Morning seasoning in a shallow dish. This is where the crispy magic happens.

3. Fry the Chicken
Heat a skillet with a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, and pan-fry until golden and cooked through—about 3–4 minutes per side. Set aside on a wire rack (or a paper-towel-lined plate if you’re fancy like that).

4. Make the Apple Butter Glaze
Melt butter and honey in a small pan. Stir in shredded green apple and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and saucy. Spoon this sticky-sweet goodness over your fried chicken pieces.

5. Assemble the Sliders
Toast those mini waffles until lightly crispy. Sandwich a glazed chicken piece between two waffles, drizzle with maple syrup, and secure with a toothpick.

6. Serve & Brag
Pile them high on a platter, snap a photo before your guests devour them, and enjoy warm. Perfect with a side of mimosas (or sweet tea if you’re keeping it wholesome).
