FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS WITH BUFFALO SAUCE

Steps:

• Thinly slice each chicken breast diagonally into 6 pieces, keeping each piece roughly the same size.
• Place the chicken pieces into a bowl. Add the buttermilk, Frank's sauce and garlic salt and mix well making sure all the chicken has been coated.
• Let the chicken marinade, covered for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, onion powder, pepper, herbs de Provence and paprika.
• Heat the canola oil in a pan deep enough to hold about 4-5 pieces of chicken at a time, until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• Take a piece of chicken from the marinade and carefully shake off any excess buttermilk. Drop it into the flour mixture and shake it around, coating completely with the flour.
• Shake off any excess flour and gently drop it into the hot oil. Proceed with another 2-3 pieces.
• Cook for about 3 minutes each side, maintaining a steady temperature of 375 degrees.
• Transfer the cooked chicken to a dish with paper towel to absorb any oil.
• Season again with some sea salt. Place a piece of chicken onto a bun and top with a half slice of cheese and some more buffalo sauce if required.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes.
• Add the hot sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer, then place in the oven to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool in the skillet, then pull the meat with your fingers. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Preheat the broiler. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until crispy and caramelized on top, about 4 minutes.
• For the sandwich build: Place some chicken on the roll bottoms and top with ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, tomato and lettuce. Close with the roll tops.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut the dinner rolls in half so you have a top and bottom piece. Place the bottom half in a large baking dish (a lasagna pan works well) and sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the top.
• In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and if using, the habanero hot sauce. Spread this evenly over the buns in the baking dish.
• Mix the bagged coleslaw them spread it on top of the buffalo chicken. Top with the remaining mozzarella then put the tops of the buns on top.
• Melt the butter, mix in the Italian seasoning, then brush the butter over the buns.
• Cover the baking dish with foil then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the sliders are hot, the cheese is melted, and the tops of the buns are golden. Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, hot sauce, onion, garlic, paprika, and jalapeños together in a medium bowl; set aside until ready to use.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°. Cut each chicken thigh in half crosswise; you should have 12 equal pieces. Whisk egg, honey and 1/4 cup spicy mayonnaise and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, in a large bowl until completely combined. Reserve remaining spicy mayonnaise for the rolls. Toss chicken in the egg mixture until all pieces are coated and let sit uncovered at room temperature while you toast the bread crumbs.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as you see small wisps of smoke from the oil, add panko and 1/4 teaspoons salt and toss to coat. Cook, tossing often, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes.
• Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Lift chicken from bowl, letting excess egg mixture drip back into bowl. Coat in toasted panko, pressing to adhere, then transfer to rack, spacing evenly apart. Repeat with remaining chicken and panko.
• Bake chicken until cooked through, juices run clear when thighs are pierced with a knife, and panko mixture is slightly darkened in color, 15-20 minutes. Let chicken cool 10 minutes.
• Liberally spread remaining seasoned mayonnaise over cut/toasted sides of buns. Build sandwiches with pickles, fried chicken, shredded lettuce, and more hot sauce, if desired.
• Do ahead: spicy mayonnaise can be made 3 days ahead, cover and chill.

FRIED BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine all sauce ingredients in a pan and simmer until melted.
• Set aside.
• Prepare chicken breasts by trimming off all visible fat and pounding.
• Mix batter ingredients until no lumps remain.
• Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat, about 350°F.
• Dredge chicken breasts in batter, letting any excess drain off.
• Fry on one side until golden and done (depending on how thinly you pound them, this takes between 5 - 7 minutes per side).
• Flip over, and continue to fry until done.
• Dip chicken breasts on both sides in buffalo sauce and serve on buns that have a light coating of mayonnaise on both sides.
• Top with cheese if desired.
• We usually serve this with french fries, so while I'm preparing the fries, I place the chicken breasts on a baking rack over a cookie sheet and keep them warm in a 200F oven.

BUFFALO CHICKEN THIGH SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with Cajun seasoning. Place on grill and cook until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, place the butter in a small saucepan with hot sauce. Stir until the butter melts. When the chicken is cooked through, add to the pan, turning several times to coat.
• In a small dish, combine the yogurt, chives, feta and lemon juice.
• Split the rolls, place a chicken piece on the bottom half, top with yogurt dressing and shredded lettuce. Place the top half of the roll on top and enjoy.
