Here is how to make Spicy Korean Chicken Sliders

I started with 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cut them in half so they would be the perfect size for the slider buns.

Then put them in a plastic gallon size bag.

The marinade is pretty simple.

Just mix together soy sauce, gochujang chili paste, garlic paste, ginger paste, honey, lime juice, and as much or as little ground red pepper as you like.

Depending of course how spicy you prefer.

We are spice fanatics around here so these had a pretty good kick to them.

Whisk it all together, save 1/4 cup, and add the rest to the bag with the chicken thighs.

Marinate a few hours or even overnight.

Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of the marinade with mayo for the perfect spicy mayo sauce for these sliders.

When ready to fry these, set up a bowl with seasoned flour and fill a saucepan a few inches deep with vegetable oil.

Set the saucepan over medium heat.

Check the oil after about 5 minutes with an instant read thermometer.

When the oil is at 325 degrees you’re ready to start frying!

Dredge four chicken thighs in the flour and then gently place them into the oil.

The chicken takes 8 minutes total. I recommend checking to make sure they are at 170 degrees.

Repeat with the four remaining chicken thighs.

Place a piece of chicken on each bottom bun.

Then drizzle some of that spicy mayo from earlier.

You can always add more ground red pepper if you want it even spicier!

And top with slaw or lettuce.

I am using one of the salad kits from Kroger since it’s already cut and has a variety of veggies.

Place the top bun over top and BOOOOM… Spicy Korean Chicken Sliders ready to be devoured during the big game!

The King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Slider Buns are a MUST for the full sweet and spicy experience…

The sweet bun, spicy chicken, and the crunch from the slaw is pure magic!
