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. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they’re submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust the heat or sweetness as desired.
- Dredge and Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix the flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry in batches in 350°F (175°C) oil until golden 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, top with fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. 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
For a healthier twist, consider baking the chicken or grill it for a smoky flavor. Adjust sriracha to your spice preference.
