Spicy Honey Butter Infused Chicken Sliders

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These sliders are buttermilk-marinated fried chicken on brioche buns with a glaze of cannabutter or infused honey, giving roughly 5 to 10 mg THC per slider when 1 tbsp is split across 4 sliders. These infused chicken sliders aren’t just party food, they’re a full-on experience. Crisp buttermilk chicken, sticky-spicy honey butter glaze, and soft buns to soak it all up. The cannabis infusion? Subtle, intentional, and perfectly balanced thanks to precise decarb and oil infusion with the herb cooker.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless chicken thighs or small breasts, cut into slider-size pieces
• 120 ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk
• 60 g (1/2 cup) flour
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Oil for frying (neutral, high smoke point)

For the Infused Honey Butter:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp cannabis-infused honey or cannabutter
• 1 tbsp regular honey
• 1 tsp hot sauce (more to taste)
• Pinch of chili flakes

For the Sliders:

• 4 small brioche slider buns
• Pickles, coleslaw, or shredded lettuce (optional)

Equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Skillet or fryer
• Small saucepan

• herb cooker (for infusion)

Instructions

1. Decarb and Infuse

Use the Decarb function on the herb cooker to activate your cannabis. Then use the CBD Oil or Oil function to infuse into butter or coconut oil. You can also infuse honey by blending small amounts of infused coconut oil into warm honey, stir well.

2. Marinate Chicken

Combine buttermilk and chicken in a bowl. Let it marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight).

3. Coat and Fry

Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Dredge each chicken piece until coated. Heat oil in a skillet and fry until golden and crisp (about 3–4 minutes per side). Drain on a paper towel.

4. Make the Honey Butter Glaze

In a small saucepan, melt butter, cannabutter (or infused honey), regular honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Stir until smooth. Keep warm.

5. Assemble the Sliders

Toast your buns lightly. Place a piece of chicken on each bun, spoon over infused glaze, and top with pickles or slaw if using.
