Jimmy’s Bang Bang Chicken Sliders
I simmer chicken thighs in a spicy-sweet sauce, shred them and then pile 'em high on pretzel buns to create an incredibly addictive party food. —James Schend, Food Editor <I>Taste of Home</I>

These were very good! In fact of all of the appetizers I made for New Year's Eve...these were the best! I ran out of honey for the tops, so I substituted corn syrup instead. All was good! The dipping sauce was very good, I made it quite spicy, just the way we like it!
Oh my gosh, we loved these sliders! SO GOOD! Love the spicy sauce especially. I used regular slider buns instead of pretzel.
Easy to make and insanely delicious, I had a hard time eating just two of these sliders. I especially love the spicy sauce.
SO good!
A little spicy for my taste. But added sour cream to the sauce - great!
It was delicious! Just put it on regular hamburger buns since that's what I had. Will definitely make it again.
