New York City eatery Macchina is known for its indulgent menu that puts a contemporary twist on traditional Italian dishes. The eatery's Garlic Knot Chicken Parm Sliders can be enjoyed as a hearty appetizer or meal and feature a rich topping of garlic sauce and a spice and seasoning blend that is inspired by another New York City staple -- the iconic everything bagel. This dish is inspired by chicken Parmigiana recipes but offers a street food version that is perfect for urban dwellers on the go.
The fried chicken cutlets inside each slider are topped with the same seasoning mix and are combined with a mix of marinara sauce, parmesan cheese and a signature paprika aioli sauce
