Why all of a sudden can’t I save any recipes on any Foodnetwork shows? I have done it in the past for years!?

To all who are asking if it’s served cold or hot, these are cold sliders. So so good and so crazy easy to make at last minute. And to all who complain that certain recipes are bland, all recipes should be used as a base and you add your family’s favorite seasonings. If you think this way you will start enjoying these great recipes listed by Food Network.

Erica Harris
This is really good. Everyone loved it and the flavors are perfect. I made adouble batch and am glad I did. Thanks food network and Trisha. Nothing needs to be changed on this recipe. I read the other reviews and can not understand how ANYONE could find this too spicy,,,,just great.

My family and I love this. I did use Siracha because it was in my house. We haven’t tried the slaw yet, I wanted them to focus on the chicken.

I thought this dish was too spicy for me. I would probably make it without all the spice. I love the dressing that gets poured over the slaw. It had an intense flavor from the zest and juice of a lime. There were some vegetables I wasn’t liking. I really liked the ranch hidden valley package and mixture dressing. It was delicious. I think it’s worth making again but less on the spicy side.

I made the slaw to accompany some pulled pork sandwiches, and it was good (maybe cause I didn’t add any spice since we have a toddler in the house).  I could see it going with a variety of dishes as a complement.  Even my 3 year old ate it!
