12 - 6–8 pickle chips (optional)

13 - Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

14 - Extra BBQ sauce, for drizzling or dipping

# How to Make It:

01 - Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden. Shred chicken using two forks and toss in warm BBQ sauce. Keep warm.

02 - Preheat waffle iron and prepare batter according to instructions. Pour small portions into the waffle iron to form mini rounds. Cook until golden and crisp. Set aside.

03 - Layer bottom waffle with cheese slice, a scoop of BBQ chicken, and a pickle chip if desired. Top with another waffle round. Optional: Warm assembled sliders in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes to melt cheese slightly. Garnish with parsley or chives and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.

02 - Try adding a drizzle of honey or a dab of hot sauce for a sweet-spicy kick.

03 - Great as party snacks or served with a side of coleslaw or fries.
