Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for desired spiciness)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

Approximately 12 slider buns

Sliced jalapeños (for serving)

Sliced avocado (for serving)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Spicy mayo (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the chicken.

    Heat the Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium heat, adding a drizzle of olive oil to coat the surface for cooking.

      Form the Patties: Take small portions of the chicken mixture and shape them into patties about 2 inches in diameter. You should end up with roughly 12 mini patties.

        Cook the Patties: Place the chicken patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and the internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C).

          Toast the Buns: While the sliders cook, split the slider buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly golden and crispy.

            Assemble the Sliders: To build each slider, place one chicken patty on the bottom half of a slider bun. Layer with sliced jalapeños and avocado. If desired, add a generous dollop of spicy mayo for an extra kick.

              Finish and Serve: Garnish each slider with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves, then cap with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately to enjoy the sliders while they are warm and full of flavor.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 12 sliders

                  - Presentation Tips: Arrange the sliders on a large platter and serve with extra sliced jalapeños and avocado on the side. For an added flair, drizzle some spicy mayo around the platter for dipping!
