  4. Arrange patties in a single layer in the basket and spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
  5. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove sliders and let them rest for 2 minutes. Toast buns in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes if desired.
  7. Assemble sliders with favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

Use 93% lean ground chicken for best texture. Customize toppings and seasonings to your preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
