Chipotle Honey Biscuit Chicken Sliders | Bring a little Latino flair to your summer picnic with these sweet and spicy biscuit chicken sliders.
Summertime……I love summer. We try to have as many family picnics as possible. Sometimes I like to give our picnics a theme. For one of them (we had three) our theme was southern food. You know that was good! Instead of bringing the same old basket of fried chicken I decided to spice things up a bit by using La Morena Chipotle Peppers to make the most flavorful tender biscuits EVER! Everyone (even the kids) loved them. By only adding one pepper I got the delicious smoky flavor with a little bit of heat. We had tons of great food and we even played some old fashioned picnic games (HA! I won horseshoes!)
Whenever I want to add authentic Latino flavor to my food I always choose La Morena products. You can find La Morena products on the Hispanic aisle at Walmart. I also always have a can of La Morena Sliced Jalapeños. They are great on hot dogs, pizzas and sandwiches! Be sure to check out more picnic recipes with a twist at Padillagroup.com. I’d love to hear your favorite!
Like I mentioned above I only added one chipotle pepper (because I’m a wimp) but if you have some die hard spicy enthusiasts you can add more. Or leave the seeds in! Yes, I even took the seeds out (sorry…….) I loved how plump and fresh the peppers were. I couldn’t resist the rich thick beautiful adobe sauce so I added it to part of the chicken coating. Simply outstanding!
So here’s the low down on the best sliders I’ve ever had. Fist, I started with a chipotle honey biscuit then, added a cool avocado spread and topped it off with a fried chipotle honey chicken patty. TIP: MAKE SURE YOU AT LEAST TRY A BITE WITH A DRIZZLE OF HONEY I PROMISE IT IS THE BOMB! As an added layer of flavor add some of the adobe sauce to the honey and really drive in the spicy sweet flavor! ENJOY!
