step by step

Method

  1. Activate the yeast

    • Mix the warm milk, warm water, yeast and a spoonful of the sugar in a bowl.
    • Let sit until foamy.
    Step 1

  2. Make the dough

    • Add the remaining sugar, eggs and avocado oil.
    • Gradually add the bread flour and salt until a rough dough forms.
    • Knead in the softened butter, then keep kneading until smooth and elastic.
    Step 2

  3. First rise

    • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled.
    Step 3

  4. Shape and proof the buns

    • Divide the dough into 12 balls and place on a lined baking sheet with space between them.
    • Cover and let rise until puffy.
    Step 4

  5. Bake the buns

    • Brush the buns with the egg wash made from the egg and heavy cream.
    • Bake at 190 °C until golden brown.
    Step 5

  6. Marinate the chicken

    • Cut the breasts in half to get 8 pieces.
    • Mix the buttermilk, egg, pickle juice, buffalo sauce and seasonings.
    • Add the chicken and marinate while the buns rise and bake.
    Step 6

  7. Prepare the dredge

    • Mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch and seasonings.
    • Add a little of the wet marinade to the flour and rub it between your fingers to create craggy pieces.
    Step 7

  8. Coat the chicken

    • Dredge the chicken thoroughly, pressing the coating onto both sides.
    • Let rest before frying.
    Step 8

  9. Fry the chicken

    • Heat the oil to about 175 °C.
    • Fry the chicken, flipping every few minutes so neither side gets too dark, until deeply golden and the thickest part reaches 74 °C.
    • Drain on a wire rack.
    Step 9

  10. Make the hot honey

    • Melt the honey, butter, brown sugar, hot sauce, garlic powder, chili powder and salt together over low heat until smooth.
    • Let cool slightly to thicken, then brush generously over the fried chicken.
    Step 10

  11. Make the garlic butter

    • Melt the butter with the minced garlic and parsley.
    Step 11

  12. Assemble the sliders

    • Toast the buns in butter.
    • Spread ranch on the bottom bun, add the hot honey chicken and pickles, then spread more ranch on the top bun.
    • Brush the tops of the buns with the garlic butter.
