Spicy Chicken Rendang Sliders

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 4 shallots, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, smashed
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 inch galangal, sliced
  • 1 inch ginger, sliced
  • 3 red chilies, sliced
  • 2 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 12 slider buns

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the coconut milk, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, ginger, red chilies, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and stir to coat them with the coconut milk mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is tender.
  3. While the chicken is simmering, toast the slider buns in a toaster or on a skillet until lightly golden.
  4. Once the chicken is ready, remove the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves from the pot. Using two forks, shred the chicken in the pot, mixing it with the thickened sauce.
  5. Assemble the sliders by placing a generous amount of the spicy chicken rendang on each toasted bun. Serve hot and enjoy!
