      Wasabi Slaw
      Chicken Cutlets
      Servings: sliders
      Instructions
      Wasabi Slaw
      1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, wasabi, salt and pepper. Cover and keep chilled until ready to use.
      2. When ready to assemble sliders, toss cabbage, green onion and grated carrot with dressing.
      Chicken Cutlets
      1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally and then cut each half into half again, getting 4 pieces (each being about 1.5 ounces) out of each breast. Place the chicken pieces between two pieces of parchment or wax paper and pound with a rolling pin or flat side of a mallet to 1/4" thick.
      2. Using 3 shallow bowls, to the first, add the flour, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. To the second, add eggs and water and whisk to combine. To the third, add the bread crumbs.
      3. Add several chicken pieces to the flour bowl and flip around to coat. Shake off excess and add pieces to egg bowl. Using a fork, flip to coat with egg and place in bread crumbs, turning each piece and patting gently to adhere crumbs. Place breaded portions onto a clean plate or wire rack and repeat breading procedure until all pieces are done.
      4. Add enough canola oil to a large skillet to just start to cover the bottom. Heat over medium high until hot. Add breaded chicken to pan, being careful not to overcrowd pan. Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side until golden. Remove from pan to a paper towel lined tray to dab off any excess grease and then to a clean plate. Keep warm in a low 225℉ oven while remaining cutlets are fried. Wipe out pan with a paper towel to remove excess crumbs that may start to burn prior to frying more cutlets.
      5. Slice slider buns in half and brush lightly with butter. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and place slider buns buttered side down in pan and heat over medium until starting to brown and become warm. About 2 minutes.
      6. To each slider bun, add a chicken cutlet and top with a generous amount of wasabi slaw. Secure each slider with a long toothpick if desired and serve immediately.

          Instructions
          Cumin Dip
          1. In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients and allow to chill for at least 1 hour to allow flavours to meld.
          Jalapeño Rings
          1. Wash and dry jalapeño peppers. Slice each pepper into 1/4" rings. Cut or push out center seeds if desired. Set aside.
          2. Preheat deep fryer or add 2-3 inches of canola oil to a heavy dutch oven or pot. Using a thermometer, heat oil to 350℉. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Stir in all the jalapeño rings until coated with batter.
          3. When oil is hot, using your fingers fish out several rings and drop into oil. Only add enough rings to form a single layer on the oil. Fry until underside is beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. Flip rings over and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove from oil using a slotted spatula or spoon and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining rings and serve immediately with cumin dip.
