Creating these flavorful Honey Garlic Chicken Sliders involves a few simple steps. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, making sure they are well coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours if you have more time).
3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off.
4. Grill or Sauté: Cook the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
6. Toast the Buns: While the chicken rests, lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster oven until golden brown.
7. Assemble the Sliders: Place a few pieces of the honey garlic chicken on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with fresh lettuce leaves and optional cucumbers or pickles.
8. Finish: Add the top half of the buns and secure with a toothpick if desired.

Following these steps will help you create delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Sliders that are sure to impress your family and friends.
