Instrucțiuni

Make the slaw Combine cabbage, radicchio, apple, and parsley in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Bring vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper to a boil in a small saucepan over high, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour hot vinegar mixture over cabbage mixture; stir to combine. Set aside until ready to serve.

Make the chicken Preheat oven to 200°F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Season chicken evenly with salt and pepper.

Place flour in a large, shallow bowl. Stir together mustard and honey in a second large, shallow bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup honey mustard to a small bowl; set aside. Whisk egg into remaining honey mustard in large bowl. Place crushed pretzels in a third large, shallow bowl.

Dredge chicken pieces in flour, shaking to remove excess; dip in egg mixture, turning to coat. Dredge chicken pieces in crushed pretzels, patting to adhere. Transfer coated chicken to a parchment paper–lined work surface or baking sheet.

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in 4 to 5 batches, fry chicken until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed. Place chicken on prepared wire rack on baking sheet, and transfer to preheated oven to keep warm while frying remaining chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken, wiping skillet clean and adding 1/4 cup oil between batches.

Place 2 chicken pieces on bottom half of each slider bun. Spread about 2 teaspoons reserved honey mustard on each top bun half. Top each sandwich with about 1/3 cup slaw, and sandwich with top bun halves. Serve sliders immediately with remaining honey mustard on the side.
