Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp. Urban Accents Cajun Street Spice Blend
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 12 Slider buns, split
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- ¼ cup Stonewall Kitchen Smoky Barbecue Aioli
- ½ cup Stonewall Kitchen Pickle Slaw or Stonewall Kitchen Spicy Pickle Slaw
Directions
- Trim chicken thighs of any excess fat or cartilage and cut into pieces approximately the size of the slider bun. Place in a medium bowl and cover with buttermilk. Refrigerate and leave to marinate overnight, if possible.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator and turn on fryer to 350˚F. If frying on the stovetop, warm several inches of oil in a tall cast iron pot on medium heat making sure to leave plenty of room in the pot for oil expansion and chicken.
- Combine flour, corn starch, Cajun street blend and salt in a separate medium bowl.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Transfer thighs to bowl of seasoned flour making sure to coat the outside well. Remove from flour allowing excess to fall back into bowl.
- Return to buttermilk one more time, coating the entire outside again with buttermilk. Remove from liquid and place in seasoned flour bowl once again. Coat the thighs well, pressing flour into the chicken to ensure it adheres.
- If frying on the stovetop, check oil temperature by dipping a small portion of one chicken thigh into the oil. It should not be smoking but it should begin to sizzle on contact. Carefully place the chicken into the oil and allow to fry for about 6 – 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and crispy. Remove from oil and place on a rack or paper towels to drain any excess grease.
- While the chicken fries, warm a large skillet or griddle. Melt the butter and toast each bun until golden brown.
- To assemble the sliders start with smoky barbecue aioli on the bottom bun, follow with a piece of fried chicken, then finish with pickle slaw and the top bun. Enjoy!
