About Fried chicken slider

Fried Chicken Sliders are a popular dish originating from American cuisine. These miniature sandwiches feature a piece of crispy fried chicken, typically seasoned with spices and coated in a flour batter, served on small soft bread buns. They are often paired with toppings such as pickles, mayonnaise, or coleslaw. Nutritionally, fried chicken sliders are calorie-dense due to the frying process and tend to be high in protein, fats, and carbohydrates. They also provide essential B-vitamins like niacin, thanks to the chicken, but may contain high levels of sodium depending on the seasoning and toppings used.

Health Benefits

• Rich in protein from the chicken, which supports muscle growth and repair.
• Provides niacin (Vitamin B3) from chicken, essential for energy metabolism and maintaining healthy skin.
• Contains iron, which is crucial for oxygen transport in the body, from the chicken's muscle tissue.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from bread and batter), egg (if used in batter), dairy (if toppings like cheese or mayo are added)

Suitable for: Non-vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, gluten-free diets

Selection and Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the chicken separately in the oven to retain crispiness.
