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 breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, whisk buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper together. Add the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder together. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as needed.
- Dredge and Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, combine flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove chicken from the marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, then fry 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: Lightly toast slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, top with fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and optional pickles. Garnish with cilantro and cap with the top bun.
- Serve: Transfer sliders to a serving platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
These sliders are great for gatherings and can be made ahead of time. Store fried chicken and sauce separately to keep them fresh.
