Teriyaki Chicken Sliders

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken mixture
   In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, teriyaki sauce, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix which can make the patties tough.
2. Form the patties
   Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties slightly larger than the slider buns (they will shrink when cooking). Press a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
3. Cook the sliders
   Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). During the last minute of cooking, brush each patty with additional teriyaki sauce.
4. Prepare the spicy mayo
   While the patties are cooking, mix mayonnaise with sriracha sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside for serving.
5. Toast the buns
   Lightly toast the slider buns either in a toaster, under a broiler, or in the same pan after removing the cooked patties. Toast until just golden, about 30 seconds.
6. Assemble the sliders
   Spread the bottom half of each bun with the spicy mayo mixture. Top with a chicken patty, shredded cabbage, and diced pineapple (if using). Drizzle with a little more teriyaki sauce if desired, then place the top half of the bun on each slider.
