Step 3: In a medium size bowl mix together ¼ tbsp. fresh garlic, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ¼ tbsp. of Sriracha and  a squirt of lemon. Voila! Sriracha Mayo! You can use less or more Sriracha as desired.

Step 4: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter the slider buns and place on a baking sheet. Bake in oven for approximately 5 minutes or until gently toasted.  You can prepare these 30-60 minutes prior to serving. To prevent the buns from getting too hard and crunchy place them in a basket and wrap tinfoil over them.
