Ingredients
For the Chicken:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Sliders:
12 mini slider buns
1 cup shredded lettuce
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup pickles (optional)
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add chicken pieces to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
- Fry the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and dredge each piece in the flour and panko mixture, coating well.
- Fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Sliders:
- Spread Bang Bang sauce on both the top and bottom of each slider bun.
- Place a piece of fried chicken on each bottom bun, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, pickles (if using), and fresh cilantro (if desired).
- Close sliders with the top buns and serve immediately.
Notes
For a healthier alternative, bake the chicken instead of frying.
Adjust the level of spiciness in the Bang Bang sauce by reducing the sriracha or adding more mayonnaise.
