Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders

Crispy, spice-dusted chicken thighs nestled in soft buns with pickles and a swipe of cool mayo. It’s got a fierce kick that hits right, but the heavy flour dredge and sweet buns stack up sixty-two grams of carbs that absolutely disqualify it from any low-carb universe.

Crispy, spice-dusted chicken thighs nestled in soft buns with pickles and a swipe of cool mayo. It’s got a fierce kick that hits right, but the heavy flour dredge and sweet buns stack up sixty-two grams of carbs that absolutely disqualify it from any low-carb universe.

Ingredients

4 servings
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs12 oz
All-purpose flour0.5 cup
Cornstarch2 tbsp
Buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)0.5 cup
Cayenne pepper1.5 tbsp
Brown sugar1 tsp
Garlic powder1 tsp
Slider buns4 each
Dill pickle chips12 slices
Mayonnaise2 tbsp
Vegetable oil for frying0.5 cup

Method

1
Cut the chicken thighs into slider-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2
Whisk the flour, cornstarch, half the cayenne, and half the garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
3
Dip the chicken pieces into the buttermilk, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5
Carefully ladle 3 tablespoons of the hot frying oil into a heatproof bowl containing the remaining cayenne, garlic powder, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine.
6
Brush this hot spice oil mixture over the fried chicken pieces immediately.
