Spicy Pulled Chicken Sliders with Bacon-Queso Guacamole
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 whole Medium Yellow Onion, Minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 whole Chipotle Pepper Canned In Adobo, Finely Chopped (only Use 1 Pepper If You're Not Into Spicy)
- 1/2 cups Ketchup
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 18 ounces, fluid Beer Of Your Choice (Do Not Use An IPA, As It Gets Very Bitter When Reduced)
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 36 whole Slider Buns (I Love Martin's Party Potato Rolls)
- 3 whole Avocados
- 1- 1/2 whole Limes, Juiced
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 cups Red Onion, Minced
- 4 slices Cooked Thick-cut Bacon, Crumbled
- 1/2 cups Crumbled Queso Fresco
- 3 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
- For the sliders: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven (or whatever large saucepan you have with a lid) over medium heat.
- When hot, add the minced onions and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Add the chipotles, ketchup, lime juice, honey and beer.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the chicken breasts.
- Lower the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Then remove the chicken breasts from the cooking liquid, place them on a cutting board and allow them to cool slightly.
- When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks (or your hands, whatever).
- Bring the cooking liquid to a boil and cook until it has reduced by about half and thickened slightly.
- This should take about 15 minutes.
- While your sauce is reducing, make your guacamole.
- For the Bacon-Queso Guacamole: Slice your avocados in half and remove the pits.
- Score the flesh of each avocado half with a knife and spoon the flesh out of its skin into a mixing bowl.
- Squeeze lime juice over the avocado and mash it with a fork.
- Mix in the minced garlic, red onion, crumbled bacon, queso fresco and cilantro.
- Boom.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap until ready to use.
- If you leave your guac hanging around uncovered, it will oxidize and turn brown.
- Party foul.
- When your sauce has reduced, mix in the shredded chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat.
- Spoon your spicy pulled chicken onto slider rolls and top with bacon-queso guacamole and serve immediately.
- Game day just got a whole lot fancier, people.
