Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 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, as needed

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 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

For the Sliders:

  • 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

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces suitable for sliders. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Submerge the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to tenderize and infuse flavor.
  2. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the heat or sweetness by adding more sriracha or honey as desired. Set aside.
  3. Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove chicken pieces from marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Coat each piece evenly in the flour and breadcrumb mixture. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Lightly toast the mini slider buns until golden brown. Spread a generous amount of Bang Bang sauce onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with a few pieces of fried chicken, then layer with shredded lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, and pickles if using. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness and flavor. Cap with the top half of the buns.
  5. Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and offer extra Bang Bang sauce on the side for dipping. Serve immediately while hot and crisp for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spicy level of the Bang Bang sauce by varying the amount of sriracha to suit your taste.
  • For a crispier coating, double-dip the chicken in the flour and breadcrumb mixture.
  • Using fresh lime juice adds brightness to the sauce, but bottled lime juice can be a convenient substitute.
  • If you prefer baking over frying, bake breaded chicken pieces at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes or until crispy and cooked through.
  • Sliders are best enjoyed fresh, but leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for crispness.
