Maple Syrup Butter
What really makes these sliders tasty is the maple syrup butter, which was inspired by my grandson. Every time I would see him, he smelled like maple syrup. He’s older now and he no longer smells like syrup, but I do appreciate the inspiration.
Maple syrup butter is a compound butter made by mixing 6 tbsp maple syrup with 1 stick room temperature butter. Once the butter is mixed, pop it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until it firms.
How to make chicken and waffle sliders
Cook 1 package of 8 sets of 4 miniature waffles in the toaster. Bake 16 store bought chicken nuggets according to package instructions. Break the waffles apart and put one chicken nugget between two waffles, and top each one with maple syrup butter.
The great thing about chicken and waffle sliders is that there is no mess at all. Because of the maple syrup butter, there’s no sticky syrup to clean up afterwards. They can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner and who doesn’t love to cook with their kids, especially when there’s no mess😉.
