Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix together shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sliders

    Slice the slider buns in half. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with a generous portion of creamy slaw, and add pickles. Place the top half of the bun on and serve.
