Jalapeno Sliders With Crispy Onions Recipes

SWEET TEA OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS W/ JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORN SLAW + CRISPY ONIONS.

Steps:

• Add the chicken to a large bowl and pour the buttermilk, sweet tea and salt over the chicken. Toss well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat, foil or parchment paper and spray or brush with olive oil.
• Add the corn flakes crumbs, flour, seasoned salt, cayenne and pepper to medium sized bowl. Stir to combine.
• Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk, and dredge through the crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken has been used. Make sure not to crowd your pan, if necessary use two baking sheets. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or a mist of olive oil. Drizzle the 4 tablespoons melted butter over the chicken.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees F. Bake for 10-12 minutes more, then flip the chicken over and gently spray with olive oil. Place back in oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clean. Serve with the slaw, crispy onions and chipotle cheddar (all below).
• Add the sliced onions to a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over top. Use your hand to submerge the onions in the buttermilk. Allow the onions to sit in the buttermilk 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile add the flour, salt, pinch of cayenne and pinch of pepper to a bowl and give it a good toss.
• When ready to fry the onions heat a large pot of oil until it reaches 375 degrees F. or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
• Remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and place them into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Carefully drop the onions into the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up. Watch the onions closely as they cook quick! After about 1 or 2 minutes, they should be golden brown, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining onion slices. Onions are best served right away, but can be reheated in a 300 degree oven for 5 minutes, watching them closely and making sure they do not burn.
• In a bowl toss together the grilled corn, shredded cabbage, jalapeños, chopped parsley or cilantro, lemon juice, rice vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Just before serving stir in the cheddar cheese.
• In a bowl mix together honey and chipotle pepper. Serve drizzled over the chicken.
• Place a piece of warm chicken on the bottom of each slider bun, drizzle with the chipotle honey. Top with slaw and crispy onions. SERVE!

PICKLED JALAPENOS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Put the jalapenos and red onions in a 16-ounce wide-mouth mason jar.
• In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
• Pour the hot liquid over the veggies in the jar, screw on the lid and set aside. When it has cooled to room temperature, transfer the jar to the fridge to chill for a minimum of an hour, which will allow the vegetables to pickle. The pickles will last in the fridge for 3 days. Serve them on pulled pork sandwiches.

CRISPY JALAPEñO & ONION PETALS

Steps:

• Cut the onion in half and then into wedges. Separate the onion layers and add them to a bowl. Slice the jalapeños (seeds and all if you like things spicy) into very thin rounds and add to the bowl. Pour over the buttermilk and stir to combine. Let sit while you get the remaining ingredients together.
• Combine the flour, salt and a generous pinch of black pepper in a separate bowl, then set aside.
• Add 1 inch of oil to a large, heavy-bottom skillet. Heat to 375 degrees F or until a pinch of the flour sizzles when added to the skillet.
• Using tongs, remove a handful of onions and jalapeños from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture, thoroughly coating them. Tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Carefully add the coated onions and jalapeños to the hot oil, breaking them up with a spoon, so they don't stick together. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining onions and jalapeños.
• Serve immediately.
