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
- 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 breasts into bite-sized pieces. Mix buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chicken, ensuring it’s fully submerged, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Adjust heat and sweetness to your liking.
- Dredge and Fry the Chicken: Combine flour and panko in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade; dredge in flour mixture. Fry chicken in 350°F (175°C) oil in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Sliders: Toast the slider buns lightly. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, layer with fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. Top with cilantro and cap with the top bun.
- Serve: Arrange sliders on a platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor. Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter sauce.
