Your New Go-To Backyard Brunch Sliders: The Crispy Fried Chicken Recipe from The Hudson

Summer is finally here! You know what that means: every warm summery afternoon (or evening if you're planning a bbq) is an excuse to throw a backyard brunch! Whether you're planning a small gathering, or a party where guests can bring a +12, it's so important to offer unique and "easy to pop in your mouth" dishes that have your guests coming back for seconds... or even thirds! But who says you need to stick with the traditional hot dogs and cheeseburgers? Blow your guests away with something new and unexpected. Not sure what to offer that will be a guaranteed people pleaser? 

I'm loving (and promising that your guests will be obsessed) with Crispy Fried Chicken and Coleslaw that can be put together for sliders! Just add fries on the side. I am a huge fan of this dish from The Hudson in West Hollywood, and so thrilled that anyone anywhere can make this for their backyard summer soirée. It's such a simple recipe! Whether you've got a glass of rosé or a beer in hand (beer will actually "cleanse the palate" for any spicy food or food made with oil), this is the perfect slider recipe to replace your usual, traditional hamburger slider. 

Here's how to make it: 

Crispy Fried Chicken for Sliders

Ingredients:

· Half gallon buttermilk

· 3 heaping tbsp. Spanish paprika

· 4 heaping tbsp. granulated garlic

· 2 heaping tbsp. onion powder

· 2 tbsp. cayenne pepper

· small pinch oregano

· small pinch thyme

· good pinch salt

· good pinch pepper

Instructions: Whisk all together in a container that will fit your chicken, marinate

and fry to perfection.

 

Coleslaw Dressing:

Ingredients:

· 1/2 gallon mayonnaise

· 3 tbsp. sugar

· small pinch salt

· splash apple cider vinegar

Instructions: Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. The dressing should taste

sweet but with a tangy punch from the apple cider vinegar.
