Instructions:
1. Make the Pepperberry Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the pepperberry, mayonnaise, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Set up three bowls: one with plain flour, one with beaten eggs and lemon pepper salt, and one with panko bread crumbs.
- Coat each chicken strip in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in bread crumbs.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and shallow fry the chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
3. Toast the Naan:
- Melt a small amount of butter in a pan and lightly fry the naan bread on both sides until warm and slightly crispy.
4. Assemble the Sliders:
- Place a piece of naan bread as the base.
- Add a spoonful of pepperberry sauce, spreading it evenly.
- Add a light layer of thinly sliced lettuce.
- Top with a crispy fried chicken strip.
- Fold the naan around the filling and enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra zest, sprinkle a little more ground pepperberry over the finished slider.
- Pair with a side of sweet potato wedges or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
