  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • For the Chicken Sliders:
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, finely chopped or ground
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Veggie Sliders:
  • 1 cup (150g) cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup (90g) finely chopped mushrooms (cremini or button)
  • ½ cup (60g) grated carrot
  • ½ cup (60g) breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Slider Station Setup:
  • Mini slider buns or Hawaiian rolls (about 18–24 buns)
  • Assorted toppings: sliced cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese; pickles; lettuce leaves; tomato slices; caramelized onions
  • Condiments: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce
  • Butter, melted (for toasting buns)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Patty Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently but thoroughly. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Make the Chicken Patty Mixture: In another bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add chopped chicken thighs and mix well. Chill for 10 minutes if mixture is not sticky enough.
  3. Prepare the Veggie Patty Mixture: Combine cooked quinoa, chopped mushrooms, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, egg, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until incorporated. Adjust moisture with breadcrumbs or water/vegetable broth as needed.
  4. Form Patties: Divide each mixture into 6 equal portions (about 2 oz or 55g each). Shape into small patties about 2.5 inches (6 cm) in diameter. Keep chilled.
  5. Cook the Beef Sliders: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear beef patties for about 3 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep warm.
  6. Cook the Chicken Sliders: In the same skillet, cook chicken patties for about 4 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Keep warm.
  7. Cook the Veggie Sliders: Cook veggie patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and firm. Handle gently to avoid breaking.
  8. Toast the Buns: Brush melted butter on slider buns and toast cut-side down in skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
  9. Assemble Slider Station: Arrange patties, buns, cheeses, condiments, and toppings on a platter or table for build-your-own sliders.

Notes

Handle patties gently to avoid toughness. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Toast buns last to keep warm and crisp. Cheese can be melted on patties by covering skillet in last minute of cooking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns and breadcrumbs or substitutes. Vegan option available by replacing egg and cheese.
