Gluten Free Dairy Free Chicken Apple Bacon Sliders
My family is big into patties of all kinds. Salmon sweet potato cakes, bean burgers, or beef burgers- you name it, we like it. Patties freeze well, can have any flavor combination, use all kind of different protein sources, veggies are easily added, and they are the perfect size to slip into a lunch box. For my big kids a full-sized burger is just right, but for my little girl a slider is just her size. Yes, I know I could simply cut a patty in half, but there is something so fun about having her own perfect little burger that makes her gobble it right up. And that makes this mom happy!
Gluten Free Dairy Free Chicken Apple Bacon Sliders have crisp cooked bacon and sweet grated apple mixed into the ground chicken. The resulting patty is juicy with a bit of sweetness and a bit of smokiness. Yum! Make them full sized if you choose to. They are also really delicious on the grill. Mix up a batch and you will see what I mean!

These sound super yummy! I much prefer sliders, myself… they are more evenly cooked, and all the scrum toppings don’t fall off as easy. Thanks for sharing!
do you put them on the grill still frozen?
I would let them thaw first before grilling.
Can’t wait to make these! Do you make your own hamburger buns too?
I do make my own gluten free hamburger buns. So much more tasty than store bought!
Can you please post the recipe for your gluten free buns too? My best friend is gluten free and I would love to make these for her when she comes for a visit!!! Thanks for your fabulous website!!!!!
The recipe for the buns are not quite ready for posting – they are a bit too fussy. However, when ready (they are close!) they will be posted on my gluten free/dairy free blog, angelaskitchen.com I am hoping to have them up next Friday if all the baking tweeks work out. :)
These are absolutely delicious! Since we have quite a bit of rain this week, I opted to cook the burgers on the stove top in the bacon fat and boy were they fantastic. Thank you for such a great recipe!

Trying these tonight!!!
Have you ever tried subbing celery salt (and then excluding the regular salt) or celery seed for the celery? I am going to make this recipe with 12 other moms this weekend & we are each doubling the recipe. Trying to get out of chopping 12 cups of celery. :)
I bet you are! That is a lot of chopping… LOL! I have not subbed the celery in these, however a good rule of thumb is to substitute about a teaspoon celery seed for each cup of celery. It won’t exactly be the same, but it should work out fine and save you guys some chopping time. Let us know how it works for you! :)
