Ingredients
- 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 (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 (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken into small, bite-sized pieces for sliders. In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces, making sure they’re submerged. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning (more sriracha = spicier, more honey = sweeter). Set aside.
- Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko. Remove chicken from marinade, let excess drip off, and coat evenly in flour mixture. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches, 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Sliders: Toast slider buns lightly. Spread Bang Bang sauce on bottom buns. Add fried chicken pieces, lettuce, red onion, and pickles (if using). Garnish with fresh cilantro, then top with bun.
- Serve: Arrange on a platter, with extra sauce for dipping. Best enjoyed hot and crispy!
