Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by placing chicken thighs in a bowl and covering with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the spice mixture by whisking together all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Coat the marinated chicken in the spice mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan to 350°F. Fry the coated chicken thighs for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Make the dill pickle aioli by combining mayonnaise and dill pickle juice in a bowl, stirring until smooth.
  6. Assemble the sliders by placing crispy chicken on the bun, topping with dill pickle slices and aioli, then adding the top bun.
