Sunny’s California Sliders

For the Chicken

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• Zest of one lime
• 1 TBSP fresh lime juice
• 1 jalapeno, halved lengthwise
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Marinate the chicken

1. Gently press each leg between two pieces of plastic wrap to flatten (do this with a rolling pin, it’s less brutal than pounding).
2. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Place chicken in a large sealable plastic bag with the cumin, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeno and oil.
4. Seal the bag and squish everything around until everything is coated by everything.
5. Rest on the counter for 1 hour.

Make the spread

1. In a medium bowl add the avocado, bacon, tomatoes, hot sauce, and cilantro.
2. Fold to combine gently so the tomatoes don’t get mashed, then taste and season with a pinch of salt if needed.
