Chicken Sliders with Tomato Chutney
- 4 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped plum tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 8 potato slider rolls, split
- Mayonnaise, for topping (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Bake the chicken: Toss the chicken with the grapeseed oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl, coating well.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the chutney: Combine the tomatoes, red onion, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Fry the chicken: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl, then add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Fry the chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Let cool slightly, then cut each thigh in half.
- Assemble the sliders: Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the rolls.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the rolls, buttered-side down, in the pan and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.
- Spread with mayonnaise and sandwich with the chicken and chutney.
