Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into slider-size pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 810 slider buns
  • 1 cup pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or spicy mayo

Instructions

  1. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep skillet or heavy pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix buttermilk with half the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and remaining spices.
  4. Dredge chicken in flour mix, then back into buttermilk, then again in flour. Shake off excess.
  5. Fry chicken in batches for 4–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  6. Toast slider buns lightly, if desired.
  7. Spread mayo on bottom buns, add chicken, top with pickles, and cap with top buns. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add cayenne or hot sauce to the marinade or mayo.
  • Use a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep the chicken crispy.
  • Chicken can be fried ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
