Slow-cooked, shredded chicken in a complex buffalo sauce, served on artisanal slider rolls with a creamy blue cheese aioli and tangy pickled red onions.
Season chicken thighs with Olive oil, Smoked paprika, Cayenne pepper, Salt, and Black pepper.
Slow-roast chicken thighs for 1.5-2 hours, or until fall-off-the-bone tender.
While chicken is roasting, prepare the Pickled Red Onions: In a small saucepan, combine thinly sliced Red onion, Apple cider vinegar, Water, Sugar, and Salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Prepare the Blue Cheese Aioli: In a small bowl, combine Mayonnaise, crumbled Blue cheese, Lemon juice, and minced Garlic. Mix well.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine Frank's RedHot Xtra Sharp Sauce, Butter, Honey, and Apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until combined.
Shred the roasted chicken thighs.
In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the Sauce until evenly coated.
Lightly toast the Potato rolls.
Assemble the sliders: Place a portion of the buffalo chicken on the bottom half of each toasted Potato roll. Top with Blue Cheese Aioli and Pickled Red Onions. Cover with the top half of the slider bun and serve immediately.
