Oven Fried Chicken Sliders Recipes

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the chicken fried steak: Cut the cube steak into eighteen 2- to 3-ounce portions and put into a bowl. Pour over the buttermilk, toss to cover and marinate for 1 hour.
• Add the all-purpose flour, pepper, seasoning salt, paprika and cayenne to a shallow dish and mix. Whisk the milk and eggs in a separate dish.
• Remove the steaks from the buttermilk with tongs, shaking off as much excess liquid as possible. Dredge portions in the dry mixture first, then quickly add to the egg mixture, then back to the dry mix (dry/wet/dry). Place the breaded steaks on a baking sheet and repeat until all portions are breaded. (You can cover and refrigerate at this stage until ready to fry.)
• Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Fry the steaks 4 or 5 at a time, flipping them midway through, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Cover the steaks loosely with foil to keep warm.
• For the buttermilk biscuits: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grate the unsalted butter using the large grate of a box grater and place in the freezer for 2 to 3 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the self-rising flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Add the grated butter and blend until the mixture is well combined and the butter is in about pea-size chunks. Slowly add in the buttermilk and heavy cream and mix until the dough comes together.
• Turn out onto a floured surface, use your hands to form into a rough rectangle and roll out to 3/4 inch thick. If the dough is still tacky, work in an additional 2 tablespoons self-rising flour to the dough. Dip the cutting edge of a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter into some flour, then cut out as many biscuits as possible. Gather the remaining dough, reroll to 3/4 inch and cut out additional biscuits until you have 18. Split the biscuits into 2 separate 14-inch cast-iron skillets, brush the tops with the melted salted butter and bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the gravy: Into a glass measuring cup, pour off all the grease from the skillet where the steaks were fried. Add 1 cup of the grease back into the skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle on the all-purpose flour in 3 batches. Whisk the mixture until it becomes a paste. Whisking constantly, gradually pour in the milk and buttermilk. Add the salt, pepper and more milk if it seems too thick. Allow the gravy to cook and thicken.
• Lay out the biscuits, steaks and gravy for the sliders and have everyone help themselves. Serve with sliced tomatoes and fried potatoes.

Steps:

• Add the chicken to a large bowl and pour the buttermilk, sweet tea and salt over the chicken. Toss well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat, foil or parchment paper and spray or brush with olive oil.
• Add the corn flakes crumbs, flour, seasoned salt, cayenne and pepper to medium sized bowl. Stir to combine.
• Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk, and dredge through the crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken has been used. Make sure not to crowd your pan, if necessary use two baking sheets. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or a mist of olive oil. Drizzle the 4 tablespoons melted butter over the chicken.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees F. Bake for 10-12 minutes more, then flip the chicken over and gently spray with olive oil. Place back in oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clean. Serve with the slaw, crispy onions and chipotle cheddar (all below).
• Add the sliced onions to a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over top. Use your hand to submerge the onions in the buttermilk. Allow the onions to sit in the buttermilk 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile add the flour, salt, pinch of cayenne and pinch of pepper to a bowl and give it a good toss.
• When ready to fry the onions heat a large pot of oil until it reaches 375 degrees F. or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
• Remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and place them into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Carefully drop the onions into the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up. Watch the onions closely as they cook quick! After about 1 or 2 minutes, they should be golden brown, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining onion slices. Onions are best served right away, but can be reheated in a 300 degree oven for 5 minutes, watching them closely and making sure they do not burn.
• In a bowl toss together the grilled corn, shredded cabbage, jalapeños, chopped parsley or cilantro, lemon juice, rice vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Just before serving stir in the cheddar cheese.
• In a bowl mix together honey and chipotle pepper. Serve drizzled over the chicken.
• Place a piece of warm chicken on the bottom of each slider bun, drizzle with the chipotle honey. Top with slaw and crispy onions. SERVE!

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS

• Whisk mayonnaise, hot sauce, onion, garlic, paprika, and jalapeños together in a medium bowl; set aside until ready to use.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°. Cut each chicken thigh in half crosswise; you should have 12 equal pieces.
