Chipotle Barbecue Pulled Turkey Drumstick Sliders with Brussels Sprout Slaw image

Turkey drumsticks do not take kindly to the dry heat of an oven, which causes the meat to tighten up around the bone and tendons. But treat those same drumsticks to a long, slow, moist braise in barbecue sauce, and the meat falls off the bones, revealing tough tendons so numerous, you won't believe it.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: For the best chipotle sliders, use a flavorful cut of beef like chuck roast or brisket. These cuts have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the sliders moist and juicy.
  • Cook the Meat Slowly: Low and slow is the best way to cook the meat for chipotle sliders. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Shred the Meat: Once the meat is cooked, shred it using two forks. This will make it easier to eat and will also help the meat absorb the chipotle sauce.
  • Make a Flavorful Chipotle Sauce: The chipotle sauce is what really makes these sliders special. Use a combination of canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, tomato sauce, and spices to create a sauce that is smoky, spicy, and flavorful.
  • Assemble the Sliders: To assemble the sliders, simply place a scoop of shredded meat on a slider bun. Top with cheese, chipotle sauce, and any other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

Chipotle sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With their smoky, spicy, and flavorful chipotle sauce, these sliders are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
