KFC Zinger Sliders offer a delightful combination of crispiness, spiciness, and flavor, all neatly packed into a compact sandwich.

Assembling the sliders becomes a pleasurable experience, with soft slider buns generously spread with creamy mayonnaise and topped off with the crispy chicken fillets. To complete the ensemble, refreshing lettuce leaves and juicy tomato slices are added, resulting in a harmonious fusion of textures and flavors that will surely leave you yearning for more. Whether you choose to serve them as appetizers, a snack, or part of a meal, these homemade KFC Zinger Sliders are guaranteed to captivate your palate and fulfill your cravings for that signature KFC zing


Ingredients

  •  Chicken fillets (boneless)
  • Buttermilk
  • All-purpose flour
  • Paprika
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Cayenne pepper (optional for extra spiciness)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Slider buns
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced pickles (optional)

Here's a step-by-step guide to making KFC Zinger sliders:


  • Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken fillets in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them. Ensure that the chicken is fully submerged in the buttermilk. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to tenderize and add flavor to the chicken.
  • Prepare the breading mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Bread the chicken: Remove the chicken fillets from the buttermilk marinade and allow any excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour mixture, pressing it lightly to ensure the breading adheres to the chicken. Shake off any excess flour.
  • Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the breaded chicken fillets into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through. This usually takes about 5-6 minutes per side. Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Assemble the sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a pickle (if desired) on top of the mayonnaise. Then place a fried chicken fillet on top. Finally, cover with the top half of the bun.
  • Serve and enjoy: Arrange the KFC Zinger sliders on a platter and serve them immediately while they're still warm. They can be served as a snack or as part of a meal.
