Hennessy Glazed Soul Food Sliders
Where oh where do I begin with this post! First of all, I got the inspiration for this dish after the passing of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul.…

Ingredients
For the chicken...
8 Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)- spicy seasoning (Use as much as you need to satisfy yourself and your crew!)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 Tbsp seasoning per cup of flour
- Neutral oil for frying
For the Honey Hennessy Glaze
1 cup butter- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Hennessy
Directions
- 1.
Heat oil in a large dutch oven/stockpot. Fill the stockpot half to 3/4 of the way full with neutral oil for frying. It is important to keep the oil temperature around 330 - 350 degrees for best frying results.
- 2.
Season chicken with as much spicy seasoning as you need! The spicier the better (in my opinion)!
- 3.
Whisk the eggs into the buttermilk, and set aside in a bowl.
- 4.
In another bowl, mix flour and seasoning. If you need additional seasoning for the chicken, use 1 tbsp of spicy seasoning for each 1 cup of flour.
- 5.
Coat the chicken in the buttermilk and egg mixture.
- 6.
Then coat in the flour mixture.
- 7.
REPEAT - buttermilk mixture, then flour mixture.
- 8.
Place chicken in hot oil. Be sure the oil is hot before you start frying.
- 9.
When chicken is done, remove and place in glaze. Fully coat both sides of the chicken, allowing the glaze to soak in.
- 10.
Set chicken aside to rest. Then place in the glaze again, and fully coat both sides of the chicken, again, allowing the glaze to soak in.
- 11.
Melt butter in a medium boiler. When the butter has melted, add Hennessy and honey.
- 12.
Combine all and bring to a boil until the mixture boils down. Initially, the liquid will foam up, then it will calm down as the alcohol cooks down.
- 13.
Brush the bun with the glaze. Build the slider with chicken, mac & cheese, and collard greens!
