Time 45m

Yield 8 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup julienned carrot
1 cup julienned daikon
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sambal (Asian chile-garlic sauce)
1 pound ground chicken (50/50 white and dark meat)
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 egg, whisked
3 scallions, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for the pan
8 soft Hawaiian buns
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
8 bamboo skewers

Steps:

  • For the quick-pickles: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot and daikon and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours.
  • For the sauce: Bring the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, vinegar and sambal to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, panko, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, scallions and some salt and pepper. Mix well to combine, but don't overwork. Form the mixture into eight 2-inch balls.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with canola oil. Add the meatballs and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked though. Baste generously with sauce during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • To assemble the sliders: Serve the meatballs on the buns, topping each with a tablespoon of the quick-pickles (drained) and some cilantro leaves. Secure with bamboo skewers and serve on a large platter with extra sauce on the side.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed these sliders. The meatballs were so flavorful, and the pickled carrot and daikon added a nice tang.

These sliders are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some cooked chicken breast in the fridge, and I used it to make the meatballs. They turned out so well!

These sliders are so easy to customize. You can add different spices to the meatballs, or you can use a different type of bun. You can also top them with your favorite toppings.

I love that these sliders are a healthier alternative to traditional burgers. They're still packed with flavor, but they're lower in fat and calories.

The pickled carrot and daikon were the perfect topping for these sliders. They added a nice crunch and tang, and they really complemented the flavors of the meatballs.

The meatballs were so juicy and flavorful. I used ground chicken breast, but I think ground turkey would also be a good option.
