White Castle Copycat Flat Top Sliders

Cook Time 20 Minutes

Serves 4

  • 1/4 cup dehydrated onions
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 12 slider sized potato rolls
  • 12 dill pickles

Rehydrate the onions by covering them with 1/2 cup lukewarm water in a small bowl. Set aside while you prep the patties.

 

On parchment paper lined quarter sheet tray (or metal 13×9 baking dish) loosely break up the beef into an even layer. Season generously with kosher salt. Gently press the beef down into a single thin layer, pushing it into the corners of the tray. Finally top the beef with more parchment and use another tray of baking dish to press down on the beef. Remove the top tray and paper. Use a knife to cut the beef into 12 squares then dock the squares with the thick end of a skewer – this helps the bun steam and keeps the patties from shrinking up.

 

Drain the onions. Heat a flat top or large skillet to medium high heat. Sprinkle on the onions and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef patties, giving some space between them. Top each patty with a bottom bun. Cook the patties for 3 minutes total time. Flip the patties and remove from the grill, onions up. Top each patty with a dill pickle slice and top with the other bun half.

Ingredients

  • 2 12 ounce bottles Sparkling Ice Lemonade
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup olive oil we're using Pompeian Olive Oil from Walmart
  • 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Make the brine by combining the Sparkling Ice Lemonade with about 1/4 cup kosher salt in a large bowl.
  • French the chicken drumsticks: Use a sharp knife to cut through the meat just above the thickest part of the drumstick (about an inch from the bone end), you may need to go around twice to to cut through tough tendons. Then use your knife to scrape off the small piece of skin and meat on the bone.
  • Put the chicken drumsticks in the brine and brine for 12 to 24 hours. When you’re closer to grilling, remove the drumsticks from the brine and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat a charcoal grill for two zone  cooking. Add the chicken pieces and cook over indirect heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the heat, dunk in your chicken in your favorite BBQ sauce and return to the grill over direct heat. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the chicken lollipops are nicely charred and sticky.
