About Chicken slider

Chicken sliders are mini sandwiches featuring a small chicken patty, often topped with condiments, vegetables, or cheese, and served in a soft bun. These sliders likely originated as a variation of American fast food sliders, offering a more portion-controlled and versatile option. Chicken itself is a lean protein source, rich in essential amino acids. A grilled chicken slider (without added high-fat toppings or condiments) typically provides protein (about 10-15g), lower fat content compared to beef, and essential vitamins like B6 and niacin, as well as minerals such as phosphorus and selenium, which are crucial for energy metabolism and immune function.

Health Benefits

• High protein content supports muscle growth and repair, with approximately 10-15 grams of protein per slider.
• Rich in vitamin B6, which aids in brain development and nervous system function.
• Contains selenium, which acts as an antioxidant and supports thyroid health.
• Low in saturated fat (when grilled), promoting heart health.
• Provides niacin, which helps convert food into energy and supports the health of skin and nerves.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from bun), egg (if included in patty or toppings), dairy (if cheese is used)

Suitable for: High-protein diets, low-carb diets (if bun is omitted), general omnivorous diets

Not suitable for: Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, gluten-free diets (unless a suitable bun or lettuce wrap is used)

Selection and Storage

Cooked chicken sliders should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before eating to ensure food safety.
