  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 sliders

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs, breaded and fried or baked

Sauce & Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Slaw & Condiments

  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Buns

  • 6 slider buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Maple Soy Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper until fully combined to create a sweet and savory glaze.
  2. Cook the Beef Patties: Shape the ground beef into small slider-sized patties. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until they are fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: If not already cooked, bread and fry or bake the boneless chicken thighs until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Keep warm.
  4. Make the Cabbage Slaw: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage with mayonnaise and rice vinegar. Toss well to coat and create a quick, creamy slaw.
  5. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns in a skillet or toaster until just warm and slightly crisp on the inside.
  6. Assemble the Sliders: On each toasted bun, place a cooked beef patty followed by a piece of crispy chicken thigh. Drizzle generously with the maple soy glaze.
  7. Add Slaw and Finish: Top each slider with a spoonful of cabbage slaw and sprinkle the top with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
  8. Serve Warm: Serve the sliders immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Pickled cucumbers can be added for an extra crunch and tangy contrast.
  • Sriracha mayonnaise can be mixed into the slaw or drizzled on top for a spicy kick.
