Mix the minced chicken with ginger-garlic paste, paprika, pepper, salt, herbs, and breadcrumbs. Shape into 8 small, thin patties slightly wider than the buns.
Dip each patty in beaten egg, then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Refrigerate for 10 minutes if you have time; this helps the coating stay in place.
Shallow-fry over medium heat, turning as needed, until crisp and cooked through. The centre must reach 74°C (165°F). Avoid high heat that browns the outside before the chicken cooks inside.
Lightly toast the buns. Spread mayonnaise on the base, add lettuce, chicken, cheese, and optional tomato or onion. Finish with ketchup or burger sauce and the top bun.
Use orange cheddar cheese or brush the bun tops lightly with butter mixed with a little paprika for pumpkin color.
Before baking homemade buns, gently mark curved lines on the dough with kitchen-safe string; remove the string after baking for pumpkin ridges.
Add a small parsley sprig or a piece of green capsicum on top for tiny green stems.
Arrange the sliders on a platter with lettuce, cucumber leaves, and small pumpkin decorations around them for patch-style serving.
Mix together 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp tomato ketchup, ½ tsp mustard (optional), a pinch of black pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice. Stir until smooth and spread inside the buns.

Refrigerating the patties after coating helps the breadcrumbs adhere better during frying.
For a more vibrant pumpkin color, use orange cheddar cheese or add a little paprika to melted butter and brush it on the buns.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can use any cheese that melts well, but orange cheddar gives the best pumpkin color.
How can I make the sliders spicier?
Increase the amount of paprika or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
Can I bake the patties instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 200°C (392°F) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
What can I use instead of egg for coating?
You can use a flour-and-water mixture as an alternative to beaten egg for coating the patties.
How do I ensure the chicken is cooked through?
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the patties reaches 74°C (165°F).
