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 chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and add chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the Bang Bang sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Adjust spiciness or sweetness as desired.
- Dredge and fry the chicken: Mix flour and panko in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in flour mixture, and fry in heated oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer cooked chicken to drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the sliders: Toast slider buns lightly. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom of each bun. Add fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. Garnish with cilantro and place the top half of the bun on each slider.
- Serve warm on a platter with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with crispy tofu or breaded cauliflower. Fry or bake as desired.
