Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Whisk together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
  3. Cover chicken with spices and mix to coat evenly, then marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high, add olive oil, and cook seasoned chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  5. In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce; simmer for 5-7 minutes to thicken.
  6. Cook bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, then crumble or cut.
  7. Toast slider buns if desired, layer buns with maple glaze, chicken, bacon, cheese, and arugula.
  8. Serve warm with remaining glaze and sides like sweet potato fries.
