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 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 and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Make the Bang Bang sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Adjust the heat or sweetness to your liking.
- Dredge and fry the chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs. Take chicken out of the marinade and coat each piece in the flour mixture. Fry in hot oil at 350°F (175°C) in batches until golden brown, 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 fried chicken, top with lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. Garnish with cilantro and top with the other bun.
- Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and offer extra sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and then back into the buttermilk before frying. Adjust spice level of the sauce as desired.
