Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 mini slider buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup pickles (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until well combined. Adjust to taste.
- Dredge and Fry the Chicken: Combine flour and panko in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, and fry in preheated oil at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Sliders: Toast slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom bun, add crispy chicken, lettuce, red onion, and optional pickles. Garnish with cilantro.
- Serve: Arrange sliders on a platter with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a lighter option, consider baking instead of frying. You can also use tofu or cauliflower for a vegetarian version.
