Instructions

Slice chicken into slider-sized pieces. Marinate in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Preheat waffle maker or toast mini waffles according to package directions.
In a shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in seasoned flour, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble sliders by placing a piece of fried chicken between two mini waffles. Secure with a toothpick or skewer.
Drizzle with maple syrup or honey before serving.

Notes

Use chicken tenders or cutlets for evenly sized pieces.
Bake or air fry chicken for a lighter version.
Try adding a pickle slice or hot sauce for extra flavor.
