Can I use frozen chicken for these sliders?

Absolutely, I've done this many times when I'm in a pinch. Just thaw the chicken completely first and pat it dry with paper towels - excess moisture makes soggy buns (the horror). My trick? Bake or air fry the frozen chicken from the start - it keeps it from getting rubbery like microwaving sometimes does.

How long do leftovers last?

Honestly, in my house they never last more than a day. But properly stored in an airtight container, they'll keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. The buns get a bit softer, but a quick toast revives them nicely. I don't recommend freezing them though - the texture just isn't the same when thawed.

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

My favorite game day hack. You can assemble everything (sauce, cheese, the works) up to 8 hours ahead - just cover tightly and refrigerate. When it's party time, brush with the garlic butter and bake as usual. You might need an extra 2-3 minutes since everything starts cold. Works like a charm.

Why did my cheese slide off when I bit into it?

Oh honey, we've all been there. The culprit is usually too much sauce making everything slippery. Next time, use just enough marinara to coat the chicken thinly. Also, let the sliders rest for 2 minutes after baking - this lets the cheese set slightly so it sticks better. My husband still teases me about the time I wore marinara like lipstick.

What's the best way to serve these at a party?

After years of trial and error (and many messy napkins), here's my foolproof method: Keep them in the baking dish with a stack of small plates nearby. Slice them completely before serving so guests can grab easily. I always make a little sign that says "Careful - cheesy goodness inside" because that first bite is always molten lava hot.
