Fun Food Essentials Cajun Chicken Fritter Sliders Recipes

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. THE FILLING
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Add all the filling ingredients to a non-reactive bowl, and reserve.
• 5. Chef's Tip: Since Creole seasoning can be quite spicy, add any salt and pepper at the very last. You may find that it's seasoned well enough. I would also be careful with the Creole seasoning... maybe just add half, and then taste. The right combination of Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper will really help to bring out the flavors in this recipe. Have fun... experiment.

Steps:
