Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the sliders:
- 12 slider buns
- Mayonnaise
- Lettuce
- Sliced tomato
- Pickle slices
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
2. Cut the chicken into small pieces, about the size of the slider buns.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce, if using.
5. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then the buttermilk mixture, and then back into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess between each step.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
7. Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
8. Place the cooked chicken on the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sliders.
9. To assemble the sliders, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, a pickle slice, and a piece of fried chicken. Top with the other half of the bun.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
