Best ways to enjoy it
Enhance your slider experience by serving them on a platter lined with fresh greens or a side of crunchy potato chips for a bit of texture. You can also serve them alongside a light salad, like a mixed green or a coleslaw, to add an extra layer of freshness. For those warm days, consider pairing them with a chilled glass of lemonade or iced tea.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will typically stay fresh for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply add a bit more mayo to refresh the flavors. While you can freeze the chicken salad mixture, it’s best to assemble the sliders fresh before serving.
