Description
Small sandwiches featuring crispy fried chicken pieces on slider buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 12 small slider buns
- Butter, softened
- Pickle slices (optional)
- Sauce of choice (e.g., mayonnaise, hot sauce)
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, pressing to coat well.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place chicken pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Lightly butter the cut sides of the slider buns.
- Toast the buns lightly in a dry skillet or under a broiler until golden.
- Assemble the sliders: place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom bun, top with your chosen sauce and pickle slices if using, and cover with the top bun.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Adjust seasoning in the flour mix to your taste preference.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken for safety.
