Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the marinated chicken in all-purpose flour, ensuring it is well-coated. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pickle Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced pickles, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Smoked Chili Mayo Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, smoked paprika, chili powder, lime juice, and salt to taste. Stir until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sliders

    Slice the brioche buns in half. Spread a generous amount of smoked chili mayo on each half. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half, top with pickle slaw, and cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
