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 by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and submerging in a mixture of buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Dredge the marinated chicken in a mixture of flour and panko, then fry in heated oil at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the sliders by toasting the buns, spreading Bang Bang sauce, adding fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and optional pickles, then topping with fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately with extra sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a lighter version, bake the chicken instead of frying. You can also swap chicken for crispy tofu or cauliflower for a vegetarian option.
