Directions
- 1Salt brine the boneless chicken thighs overnight, uncovered in the fridge to infuse with salt and dry out the surface.
- 2Prepare the wet batter by mixing flour, corn starch, egg whites, and really cold sparkling water until it has an almost heavy cream consistency; lumps are okay.
- 3Prepare the dry batter by adding corn starch, a dash of baking powder, chili garlic, paprika, and pepper to flour.
- 4When ready to fry, take a dried thigh, dip it into the wet batter.
- 5For craggly bits, add some wet batter into the dry batter, mix it up, and then toss the wet-battered thigh in it.
- 6Fry the chicken in oil set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown perfection.
- 7Once fried and still hot, sprinkle with a little flaky salt.
- 8Prepare the homemade barbecue sauce by combining ketchup, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chipotle hot sauce.
- 9Turn off the heat and stir in lots of honey.
- 10Finish the sauce with a couple of knobs of cold butter for a glossy and saucy honey barbecue.
- 11Coat each piece of fried chicken in the honey barbecue sauce.
- 12Assemble the sliders on a slider bun with spicy mayo and pickles.
- 13Make the spicy mayo by mixing mayo, hot sauce, paprika, chili powder, honey, and salt to taste.
