Crispy chicken with a creamy and spicy Bang Bang sauce served on mini slider buns, perfect for gatherings or a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 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

  1. 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 black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and submerge; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as desired.
  3. Dredge and Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko. Remove the chicken from the marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, then fry in 350°F (175°C) oil in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, top with fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. Garnish with cilantro and cap with the top bun.
  5. Serve: Transfer sliders to a serving platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping once. Adjust spice levels by varying sriracha and try adding avocado or cheese for a creamier twist.
