Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 8 pieces Slider buns
- 2 cups Coleslaw mix
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 8 slices Pickles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top if available for extra crispiness.
In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Coat each piece thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken pieces on the prepared baking rack or sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken bakes, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a bowl. Stir until evenly coated and set aside.
When the chicken is done, assemble the sliders by placing a baked chicken thigh on the bottom of a slider bun. Top with a scoop of coleslaw, a pickle slice, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
