Incredibly delicious and simple to make recipe – Thai Basil Chicken Sliders.
This slider is incredibly delicious, simple to make and everything is made from scratch. If you have a food processor or a Kenwood kFlex, it is time to use it. We love how easy it is to make the buns. Simply place all water, butter, yeast, milk, sugar and salt into the mixing bowl and beat till everything is well mixed. Add in bread flour and mix till dough becomes soft. Transfer the dough to a bowl and allow it to proof for 40 minutes.
Use the Kenwood kFlex and beat till everything is well mixed.
Kenwood kFlex has an integrated scale so you need not get another scale to weigh the dough.
Brush butter on the surface of the dough and place in the oven to bake.
When the dough doubles in size, break it into smaller portions of 35g each. The great thing about the Kenwood kFlex, it has an integrated scale as well so we need not get another scale to weigh the dough. Place them in a baking tray and transfer to an oven to proof another 20 minutes and bake at 230oC for 19 minutes.
Use the Kenwood kFlex to finely shred the carrot.
The kFlex comes with 3 different blades/disc that you can use to slice and even grate.
We love how the vegetable topping completes the slider. To make the topping, we switched the kFlex mixing bowl to the clear processor bowl and finely shred the carrots. This food processor can knead, chop, grate and more. We simply love how it saves us space on the countertop too. The Kenwood kFlex comes with 3 different blades/disc that you can use to slice and even grate. The carrots are then sauteed with onions till fragrant.
In a pan heated with oil, add in carrot, onion and fish sauce. Fry till fragrant.
For the chicken, it is cooked with garlic, chilli and fresh basil leaves. The sauce glazes the chicken giving it a light yet flavourful taste.
Pan fry chicken and simmer in Thai basil sauce.
Now you’ve got everything on hand to assemble an amazing slider. Slice the buns into half and stack it up. Lay the baby pea shoots, Thai basil chicken and sauteed vegetables and cover it up.
