  • Don't skimp on the spice: If you love a spicy kick, don't be afraid to add more jalapenos or cayenne pepper to the recipe. Remember, you can always add more heat, but it's harder to take it away.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure your chicken is cooked through before assembling the sliders. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer for accurate results.
