1

Cut the chicken thighs into sizes that will fit your slider buns.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, lemongrass, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, ground coriander, salt, chicken bouillon, paprika, cayenne powder, oil, vodka (or soda), and cracked black pepper. Mix well until it forms a paste-like texture.

3

Place the chicken in a large bowl and add the marinade. Use tongs or clean hands to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.

4

Preheat the grill to 450°F (232°C). Grill the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5

Lightly toast the buns on the grill. Spread sriracha mayo on the buns, then add a piece of grilled chicken. Top with pickled carrots, cucumber slices, and cilantro.
