1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha or other Asian hot chile sauce
1 1/2 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
For pickle

Tips:

  • To make the chicken meatballs more flavorful, use a combination of ground chicken thighs and drumsticks. The thighs add moisture and flavor, while the drumsticks provide a bit of texture.
  • Be sure to season the chicken meatballs well with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • When cooking the chicken meatballs, be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked through but still moist and juicy.
  • The pickled carrot and daikon add a nice tangy flavor to the sliders. Be sure to let them pickle for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • You can use any type of slider bun you like for this recipe. Hawaiian rolls or potato rolls are both good choices.
