step by step

Method

  1. Dry brine the chicken

    • Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them uncovered in the fridge with salt overnight.
    • The salt seasons the meat and dries out the surface for a crispier crust.
    Step 1

  2. Make the wet batter

    • Whisk the flour, corn starch and egg whites with the very cold sparkling water.
    • Mix until smooth with a heavy cream consistency; small lumps are fine.
    Step 2

  3. Make the dry batter

    • Combine the flour, corn starch and baking powder.
    • Season with chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and pepper.
    Step 3

  4. Coat the chicken

    • Dip each dry thigh into the wet batter.
    • Add some wet batter into the dry mix for craggly bits, then toss the thigh in the dry mix to coat.
    Step 4

  5. Fry the chicken

    • Heat the oil to 175 °C.
    • Fry the coated thighs until deep golden brown.
    • Sprinkle with flaky salt while still hot.
    Step 5

  6. Make the honey BBQ sauce

    • In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar and chipotle hot sauce.
    • Turn off the heat and stir in the honey.
    • Finish with cold butter until glossy and saucy.
    Step 6

  7. Make the spicy mayo

    • Mix the mayonnaise, hot sauce, paprika, chili powder and honey.
    • Season with salt to taste.
    Step 7

  8. Assemble the sliders

    • Toss each fried thigh in the honey BBQ sauce.
    • Place on a slider bun with spicy mayo and pickles.
