Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into slider-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Step 3
Add chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

In another bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Step 5
Remove chicken from the buttermilk mixture, letting excess marinade drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Assemble sliders by placing a piece of fried chicken on each mini bun, topping with a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato.
