I’ve got a catering event where all they want is casual, easy-to-eat type foods. So, I made a few of these until I got it right, and now all I have to do is make about 80 more. It’s a twist on the spicy chicken sandwiches that you get at a lot of in fast-food joints, but a bit smaller, and a bit healthier. For one thing, I’m using Canadian bacon, as opposed to regular bacon. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make spicy chicken and canadian bacon sliders

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your ingredients.
Step 3

Slice the chicken breast in half, front to back.
Step 4

Then slice each piece in half.
Step 5

Combine the buttermilk and the hot sauce in a large bowl.
Step 6

Place in the buttermilk, cover, and place in the fridge for two hours.
Step 7

Chef’s Note: Depending on the size of the chicken breast, you might be able to get five or even six pieces… Remember, we’re doing sliders, not huge chicken sandwiches.
Step 8

Add the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika to a bowl, and combine.
Step 9

Remove a piece of the chicken from the buttermilk, shake off the excess and dredge in the flour mixture.
Step 10

Place on a parchment-lined plate.
Step 11

Chef’s Note: Repeat for the other chicken pieces.
Step 12

Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes.
Step 13

Add the oil to a medium-size pan, over medium high heat.
Step 14

When the oil begins to shimmer (it should be about 350f/176c) add the chicken pieces.
Step 15

Fry, turning occasionally, until they are light brown and crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 16

Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 17

Take the mayonnaise and brush 1 tablespoon on the cut sides of the slider bun, and then repeat for the other buns. Add to a sauté pan and toast.
Step 18

Cook up the Canadian bacon in a sauté pan until browned, and then reserve.
Step 19

Add a piece of Canadian bacon to the bottom half of each slider.
Step 20

Add a piece of lettuce, and the chicken.
Step 21

Add a piece of Colby cheese, and then place it under a broiler until the cheese is nice and bubbly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 22

Chef’s Note: Repeat for the other sliders.
Step 23

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 24

Top with a tomato slice, add the top bun and serve with your favorite chips. Enjoy.
Step 25

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
