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

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 chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces, submerging completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to tenderize and add 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. Adjust seasoning by adding more sriracha for heat or honey for sweetness as preferred. Set aside.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Mix flour and panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, then dredge 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 chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Lightly toast mini buns until golden. Spread a generous layer of Bang Bang sauce on bottom buns. Add fried chicken pieces, then top with shredded lettuce, red onion slices, and pickles if using. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Cover with top buns.
  5. Serve: Arrange sliders on a platter. Serve immediately with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping. Enjoy warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a healthier alternative, bake coated chicken pieces at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Grill the marinated chicken instead of frying for a smoky flavor twist.
  • Adjust sriracha in the sauce to control spice level according to taste.
  • Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the Bang Bang sauce for a tangier variation.
  • Vegetarian option: Substitute chicken with crispy fried tofu or cauliflower.
