Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 8 pieces Gluten-free slider buns
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for coleslaw)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for coleslaw)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into small pieces that are approximately slider sized, about 2 inches each.
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and cover with the buttermilk. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for more flavor.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, making sure it's well coated.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the skillet, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each piece for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the fried chicken and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
For the coleslaw, in a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the dressing and toss until everything is well coated.
Assemble the sliders by placing a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each gluten-free slider bun. Top with a generous spoonful of coleslaw and the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free fried chicken sliders!
