Calories: 337kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 4 serrano peppers minced
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese + more for topping
- 1/4 cup Buffalo Sauce + more for serving
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil + more for the pan
- 3 tbsp bread crumbs or more if needed
- 8 slider buns lightly toasted
- 1 Leafy lettuce for serving
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl, add ground chicken with serrano peppers, ½ cup blue cheese, ¼ cup Buffalo sauce, paprika, garlic powder, olive oil and 3 tablespoons bread crumbs. Hand mix, but do not overmix or the sliders can become mealy. If the meat mixture doesn’t stick together enough, add a bit more bread crumbs.
- Form the meat mixture into 8 2-ounce slider patties roughly the width of your buns. They will shrink a bit when cooked.
- Heat olive oil on a large grill pan to medium heat and cook the sliders about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the sliders on toasted buns with leafy lettuce and extra blue cheese crumbles. Top with extra Buffalo sauce.
Notes
Heat Factor: Medium-Hot
You can lower the heat by choosing milder peppers, such as jalapeno peppers, or reducing the number of spicy serranos, which have a nice heat level. Make them hotter with a spicy hot sauce, hot pepper flakes, or hotter peppers.
