Step 1

Follow our Recipe for Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken. https://www.hwcmagazine.com/recipe/savory-herbed-roasted-whole-chicken/

Step 2

Remove your Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken from the pan and tent with Aluminum foil to keep warm. (Reserve all those delectable juices in the pan from the roasted chicken for the chicken broth gravy for the sliders)

Step 3

In a large pot place olive oil, chopped celery, onions, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until slightly translucent and soft. (If you wanted to you could have slow cooked your vegetables with the roasted chicken in the oven and this is nice as well)

Step 4

Add reserved juice from your Savory Herb Whole Roasted Chicken, additional chicken broth, bay leaves, paprika and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Then reduce and simmer for 1/2 hour.

Step 5

Strain and remove all vegetables and bay leaves from broth and bring broth back up to a boil

Step 6

Add sliders to broth (recipe below)

Step 7

While your chicken soup broth is cooking, make your sliders.

Step 8

Beat one egg in a large bowl. Add 4 cups all-purpose flour to bowl and gently stir in the egg.

Step 9

Next, add approximately 1- 1.5 cups or more of cooled chicken broth to flour while stirring. Add enough broth so that the flour mixture just starts to form a nice dough ball. You dough should just pull together. If your dough is too wet, add a little more flour. On the other hand, if your dough is too dry, add a little cooled chicken soup broth.

Step 10

Liberally flour a clean surface and lightly knead dough just a couple of times to form into a ball. Do NOT over knead your dough as this can make your noodles tough.

Step 11

Flatten bread lightly with hands and add more flour on top of dough and on to your rolling pin. Roll to about 1.8th of inch flat or as flat as you can get it as they puff up quite a bit when cooked.

Step 12

Cut dough into long slices and then cut each slice into about 1.5 inches long.

Step 13

Coat the fresh homemade noodles with lots of flour and do not shake off excess. (First this prevents the noodles from sticking together. In addition, it helps thicken the broth to a nice and thick consistency like a gravy for your sliders. Yum!)

Step 14

Grandma used to make a few little small dough balls. She said you were the lucky one if you got one in your bowl. (Totally optional, but fun for the kids)

Step 15

Drop the homemade sliders (noodles) into the boiling chicken broth a handful at a time. Be sure to leave on the extra flour to help thicken the chicken broth.

Step 16

The broth will start to thicken, and the noodles will float up to the top when they are cooked (about 15-20 minutes). It really depends on how thick your noodles are. Sliders do take longer to cook compared to regular noodles.

Step 17

Boil slider noodles until they are soft and pillowy. They should have a slight tooth bite but be light and pillowy. The time needed to get to this stage depends on how large and thick you cut your noodles. Our noodles took between 15 minutes to get to this stage. The sliders will float up to the top of the pot when they are getting close to be done.

Step 18

We found that you need this extra time up to almost 25-30 minutes to let all the flavors mingle, the broth to thicken and to get rid of the flour taste. Unlike a traditional noodle, sliders are heartier and stay aldente as long as you have enough broth in the pot.

Step 19

Now, your broth should be thick almost like a soup gravy and your sliders are pillowy soft but still have a little tooth bite feel. Salt and pepper and season to taste. If your broth is too thin, mix a little flour and water slurry and add to the chicken broth and bring up to a boil.

Step 20

Allow to continue to boil for several minutes to remove the flour taste and for the flavors to mingle. On the other hand, if your soup broth is too thick and your noodles do not have enough liquid to boil, you will need to add more chicken broth to your pot. Then, re-season as needed.

Step 21

Serve sliders alongside of sliced Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken and mashed potatoes for the full comfort food experience.

Step 22

We hope you enjoy Grandma's Chicken and Sliders the worlds perfect comfort food! (Tonight, a rare event. We actually have leftovers and looking forward to eating it tomorrow as it is even better the next day)
