Kid-Friendly Tips

• Kids can help set up a "breading station" and assemble sandwiches.
• Adults handle frying; kids can do toppings and squeezing lemon.
• Make it milder: skip hot sauce and use a little mayo + mustard instead.

Party Serving Idea

• Serve as mini sliders for kids- use smaller rolls and fewer toppings.
