Steps to Create Your Hot Honey Lobster & Mac Biscuit Sliders

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, hot honey, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This will be your glaze for the lobster.
3. In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked lobster meat with half of the hot honey glaze, ensuring each piece is well coated. This step reminds me of helping my abuela in the kitchen, where seasoning was always a sensory experience.
4. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake according to package instructions or until golden brown.
5. While the biscuits are baking, warm the cooked macaroni and cheese on the stovetop over low heat. If it feels too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired creaminess.
6. Once the biscuits are ready, carefully split them in half and begin assembling your sliders.
7. Start by layering a generous scoop of macaroni and cheese on the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with the glazed lobster meat, then drizzle with more hot honey glaze if desired.
8. Garnish with chopped chives for a pop of color and freshness, then cap each slider with the biscuit top.
9. Serve immediately while the biscuits are warm and the flavors are at their peak.

Tips for Making the Best Hot Honey Lobster & Mac Biscuit Sliders

The key to these sliders lies in the balance of flavors. Don’t be afraid to adjust the spice level to your liking — my family always enjoyed a little heat, but you can tone it down if you prefer. Also, if fresh lobster isn’t available, you can substitute with shrimp or even crab meat. The hot honey glaze is versatile and pairs well with different seafood options.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

These sliders are a meal on their own, but I love serving them with a simple green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette to cut through the richness. A crisp white wine or a cold, citrusy beer also makes a great accompaniment. For a full Southern experience, you might serve them alongside some classic sweet tea — a nod to the flavors of my Southern upbringing. Learn more: Dive into Decadence with Cheddar Bay Biscuit Dip

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers, which I doubt you will, store the components separately in airtight containers in the fridge. The lobster and macaroni can be reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave, but I recommend baking the biscuits fresh for the best texture. Assemble the sliders just before serving to maintain their flavor and presentation.
