Description
Juicy fried chicken coated in a creamy and spicy Bang Bang sauce, served in soft mini slider buns.
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 pepper. Add the chicken 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. Adjust the heat or sweetness according to your taste.
- Prepare the Coating and Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, combine flour and panko. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge, dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then fry in hot oil (325°F/175°C) 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 of the buns, add fried chicken pieces, and top with shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if using. Garnish with cilantro if desired, then cap with the top buns.
- Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter and offer extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra crunch, add more panko breadcrumbs when frying. Adjust spice level in the sauce according to your preference.
