Description
Delicious sliders featuring tender chicken thighs marinated in a honey-chipotle sauce, topped with crunchy slaw.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (Pounded to an even thickness)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (For grilling)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.33 cup honey
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo (Finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 6 whole soft brioche slider buns
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (For toasting buns)
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 0.5 cup purple cabbage (Thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup shredded carrots
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 cloves garlic (Minced)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken thighs to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Then, season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, chopped chipotle peppers, and ketchup. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Brush the honey-chipotle mixture on the chicken during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix shredded green and purple cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, sour cream, milk, and minced garlic in a separate bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Melt unsalted butter in a pan and toast the brioche buns until golden brown.
- Slice the glazed chicken and place it on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Top with a generous portion of slaw and cover with the top bun.
