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. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces, ensuring they’re submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust the heat or sweetness as preferred.
- Dredge and fry the chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove chicken from the marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry in oil heated to 350°F (175°C). Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, add the fried chicken, then top with shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. Garnish with cilantro and cap with the top bun.
- Serve: Arrange sliders on a platter and serve them alongside extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider double-dredging the chicken. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
