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.…

Hennessy Glazed Soul Food Sliders

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. 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. 2.

    Season chicken with as much spicy seasoning as you need! The spicier the better (in my opinion)!

  3. 3.

    Whisk the eggs into the buttermilk, and set aside in a bowl.

  4. 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. 5.

    Coat the chicken in the buttermilk and egg mixture.

  6. 6.

    Then coat in the flour mixture.

  7. 7.

    REPEAT - buttermilk mixture, then flour mixture.

  8. 8.

    Place chicken in hot oil. Be sure the oil is hot before you start frying.

  9. 9.

    When chicken is done, remove and place in glaze. Fully coat both sides of the chicken, allowing the glaze to soak in.

  10. 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. 11.

    Melt butter in a medium boiler. When the butter has melted, add Hennessy and honey.

  12. 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. 13.

    Brush the bun with the glaze. Build the slider with chicken, mac & cheese, and collard greens!
