Fried Chicken Sliders

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  2. 2

    Make the Ranch Slaw

    In another bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to combine and set aside.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, shaking off excess, and dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Chipotle Hot Honey

    In a small bowl, mix the honey and chipotle sauce together until well combined.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sliders

    On each slider bun, place a piece of fried chicken, a generous spoonful of ranch slaw, and a few pickles. Drizzle with chipotle hot honey, and top with the other half of the bun.
