Chicken Sliders!

I promised a few burger recipes as part of the "Burger Series". I've covered Chicken burgers, and Fillet O Fish, and here's a great one for Sliders! You could try this in Beef as well - good quality Beef!

You'll be surprised how easy these are to make. For 1 lb of ground chicken (leg and thigh piece) add 1/2 a packet of Onion Soup mix (you could use more of the packet but be careful adding the salt later). I use Roasted Garlic and Onion Soup mix from Lipton. Mix together with a couple tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce, 1/2 tablespoon Tabasco (optional - or to taste), and a dash of Salt.

Depending on your soup mix you may want to fry a small sample of the chicken mixture first to figure out how much salt you need to add. You could do the same before adding the Tabasco sauce if you're unsure about the spices!

Heat griddle (or any large flat frying pan) to med-high heat and add a few teaspoons of oil.  Sliders are basically mini cheese burgers, traditionally very thin and eaten as 3-4 sliders per serving. I make my sliders slightly different, much thicker than usual burgers, and I don't always fry them with onions - you could if you like.

I take a big chunk of meat in my hands, lay it out on the griddle, and use the spoon to shape it round enough to fit the mini buns. Flip over when one side is done. The middle part will be raw so cover it up as it cooks the second side and you'll have juicy thick burgers grilled to perfection!

For an original slider, fry some chopped onions on the griddle and place a thin burger patty on top of the onions. Cook till one side is done and flip over and cook till both sides are cooked through.

Slide on the burger to the buns straight from the griddle. Top with cheese and sauce of your choice (mayo, ranch, chipotle, etc.) and eat them fresh and hot!
