Step-by-Step Process

3. Prepare Eyeballs: Skewer 2 green olives onto a toothpick for each slider (monster eyes).
4. Warm the Sauce: Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan until simmering.
5. Assemble the Sliders:
   • Spread about 1 tbsp marinara on the bottom half of each bun.
   • Place one hot chicken tender on top.
   • Spoon more marinara if desired.
   • Add the mozzarella slice with the “teeth” facing forward.
   • Place the top bun over the sandwich.
6. Add Monster Eyes: Skewer the olive eyes into the top bun.
7. Serve: Present immediately while warm for the full spooky effect.

Variations

• Extra Scary: Use pepperoni “tongues” sticking out from the cheese fangs.
• Spicy Monsters: Add jalapeños inside for a fiery kick.
• Mini Mummies: Wrap crescent roll strips around the chicken before baking for a mummy effect.

How to Serve

Arrange these sliders on a dark platter with fake cobwebs or Halloween napkins. Add a drizzle of marinara “blood” on the side for dipping. They’re best served hot so the cheese fangs stay gooey and creepy.

FAQs

1. Can I make these ahead?
Yes, cook the chicken and prep the cheese/olives ahead. Assemble just before serving for freshness.

2. Can I use homemade chicken instead of frozen?
Absolutely — breaded and baked chicken cutlets work perfectly.

3. How do I keep sliders warm at a party?
Place them on a tray covered loosely with foil in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) until serving.
