This chicken sliders recipe is inspired by a Vietnamese style lemongrass chicken recipe, which relies on a deep and complex marinade with ingredients like fish sauce, lemongrass, and Lee Kum Kee  Hoisin Sauce. The hoisin sauce serves as a savory and sweet base to the marinade that infuses the chicken with rich flavors. Pair these with soft fluffy slider buns, fresh herbs, and pickled veggies, and you'll have a gameday recipe that hits all the right notes!
