Spice things up with our Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders! These sliders are the ultimate comfort food.
Want to amp up the flavor? Start by marinating your chicken in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce for at least 4 hours (this will yield the result with the most flavor). Once your chicken is fried to perfection, stack our KING'S HAWAIIAN Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls with mayo and pickles and take your tastebuds on an adventure! Don't miss out on this mouth-watering dish.
To make the dry seasoning mix, take a large bowl and whisk together Panko, cornstarch, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Nashville Hot Dry Seasoning. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl.
Are your tastebuds up for the challenge? These sliders are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with our KING'S HAWAIIAN Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and homemade Nashville hot chicken. Try them for a meal with the family or spice up the spread at your next gathering with friends or during your upcoming Slider Sunday.
To make the chicken, take a large bowl and whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture. Put the submerged chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 hours (optional).
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off of the chicken. Place chicken in the mixing bowl with the seasoning mix and completely coat chicken with the mix.
Remove chicken from the bowl, tap off excess mix, and transfer chicken to a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Enjoy these Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders on any occasion. They’re easy to make in large batches, making them perfect for informal gatherings. Bring Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders to parties, game day, or Slider Sunday.

As the chicken is resting, fill a large cast iron skillet one-third of the way up the sides with a melted Canola oil. Heat the oil to 350°F. When the oil is hot, cook until the chicken is golden brown and crisp on both sides and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (about 14 to 16 minutes). Reserve frying oil.
Slice KING’S HAWAIIAN rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife and spread mayonnaise and Nashville Hot Sauce on the top of the rolls. Place pickles evenly across the bottom of the rolls and add the chicken pieces. Cover with top bun and secure each slider with a skewer.
Separate sliders to make sharing easier and serve hot. These sliders are so delicious, you’ll be wishing you’d made a second batch.
