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 the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, then combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
- Make the Bang Bang sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as desired.
- Dredge and fry the chicken: In a shallow dish, mix the flour and panko. Remove chicken from the marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry in hot vegetable oil (at 350°F or 175°C) in batches until golden and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place fried chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Assemble the sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns. Spread the Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, place a piece of fried chicken on top, followed by shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if using. Garnish with fresh cilantro before capping with the top bun.
- Serve: Place the assembled sliders on a serving platter and offer extra Bang Bang sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the chicken separately from the buns for up to 3 months.
