About
Swap traditional buns for caramelized sweet potato rounds with these juicy teriyaki chicken sliders. Ground chicken patties are infused with rich teriyaki BBQ sauce, smashed in a hot skillet for extra crispy edges, and stacked with crisp lettuce and fresh tomato. It’s a wholesome twist on classic smash burgers that delivers big flavor without feeling heavy.
