Chicken Fried Chicken Sliders

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dredge the marinated chicken thighs in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Assemble Sliders

    Slice the slider buns in half. Place a piece of fried chicken on each bottom half, top with crispy onion rings, a dollop of herb aioli, and a spoonful of blistered green chili sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sliders warm with extra chili sauce on the side if desired.
