These are reasonably simple to make, and pack a lot of great flavors. This would be an excellent item to serve while watching a football game with friends, or just when you would like a small tasty bite. They can be cooked ahead of time, and then reheated and assembled the day they’re needed. As a matter of fact, they can even be frozen. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make fun food essentials: cajun chicken fritter sliders

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

THE FILLING
Step 3

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 4

Add all the filling ingredients to a non-reactive bowl, and reserve.
Step 5

Chef’s Tip: Since Creole seasoning can be quite spicy, add any salt and pepper at the very last. You may find that it’s seasoned well enough. I would also be careful with the Creole seasoning... maybe just add half, and then taste. The right combination of Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper will really help to bring out the flavors in this recipe. Have fun... experiment.

THE CHICKEN

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).

Dice the chicken into small bits, about 1/2 inch (1.3cm).
