Chipotle Chicken Nugget and Honey Dijon Sliders
There’s just something about sliders served on super soft rolls that makes them taste so good.
One of the softest rolls that comes to my mind are Kings Hawaiian rolls.
They’re so soft that you have to be careful not to squeeze too hard when taking them out of the package so they’ll keep their shape. And they even have a wheat version of these delish rolls.
Since one food thought leads to another with me, the first thing I picture with a Kings Hawaiian roll is a fried chicken slider.
But not just any fried chicken slider, one that’s seasoned with Chipotle and drenched in a honey Dijon sauce.
And there you have it, this was my thought process when this ultra delish slider was born….one delicious food thought leading to another.
This slider is actually kind of a “sideways” slider, more like a mini hot dog bun style slider.
And have you ever tried chicken nuggets dipped in a honey Dijon sauce? It’s soooo good.
So can you imagine how good it tastes on a slider with fried chicken? Yes, it’s YUM with capital letters.
Have a super great week and thank you for stopping by!
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Boneless skinless chicken breast, Chipotle chile powder, flour, salt, pepper, canola oil, Kings Hawaiian wheat rolls, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Here’s how to make it.
For the Honey Dijon Sauce:
In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey. Mix together and set aside for a moment.
For the Sliders:
Cut each chicken breast into 4 equally sized pieces and add them to a medium size bowl or plate.
Then add the Chipotle powder,
pepper,
and salt.
Coat the pieces of chicken with the spices on all sides.
Add the flour to a separate small bowl and coat each piece of chicken with the flour. Set aside for a moment.
In a medium size skillet add the canola oil and heat on medium heat.
Add a pinch of flour to the oil and when it bubbles then add the pieces of chicken to the pan.
When the bottom side of the chicken turns a golden color (about 3 or 4 minutes) turn the chicken over. Continue to turn the chicken as it cooks until all sides of the chicken are a golden color (about 4 or 5 more minutes). If the chicken is browning too quickly turn the heat down just a bit.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it on a small rack to drain off the excess oil.
Partially cut the rolls in half from side to side leaving a small section uncut so it resembles a hot dog bun.
Next,
drizzle the honey Dijon sauce inside each roll…
…then add a fried chicken nugget to each bun, and drizzle more honey Dijon sauce on top of the chicken.
Garnish with the chives and…
…serve with the uncut side of the bun down (like a mini hot dog).…Enjoy!
