1 1/2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha or other Asian hot chile sauce
1 1/2 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
For pickle
2 medium carrots, peeled
1/2 lb daikon radish, peeled
1/2 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Marinate chicken:
  • Whisk together garlic, sugar, fish sauce, oil, lime juice, and hot sauce in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add chicken and toss to coat, then marinate 15 minutes.
  • Make pickle while chicken marinates:
  • Cut carrots and radish into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks (2 inches long) with slicer. Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add vegetables and toss to combine. Let stand, tossing occasionally, until wilted, about 15 minutes.
  • Grill chicken:
  • Heat grill pan over moderately high heat until hot, then grill chicken in 4 batches, turning over once with tongs, until just cooked through, about 1 minute total per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate as grilled and keep warm, covered with foil. Serve with pickle and accompaniments.

Tips:

  • To make the chicken meatballs more flavorful, use a combination of ground chicken thighs and drumsticks. The thighs add moisture and flavor, while the drumsticks provide a bit of texture.
  • Be sure to season the chicken meatballs well with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • When cooking the chicken meatballs, be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked through but still moist and juicy.
  • The pickled carrot and daikon add a nice tangy flavor to the sliders. Be sure to let them pickle for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • You can use any type of slider bun you like for this recipe. Hawaiian rolls or potato rolls are both good choices.
