• Drain on paper towels, then chop into small pieces.

3. Make the Caesar Salad

• Shred romaine lettuce and place in a large bowl.

• Pour in Caesar dressing and toss until well coated. Set aside.

4. Set Up the Frying Station

• Bowl 1: All-purpose flour seasoned with garlic salt and grated parmesan.

• Fry until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.

6. Toast the Slider Buns

• Slice the slider buns as a sheet.

Tips & Variations

• Serve immediately to keep the chicken crispy and the salad fresh.
