Notes
Pro Tips: To prevent soggy waffles, assemble the sliders right before serving. You can cook all components ahead and keep them warm. If transporting to a party, bring the chicken, waffles, slaw, and syrup separately and assemble on-site for the best texture. For a spicy twist, toss the cooked chicken in hot sauce or buffalo sauce before assembling.
