Delicious sliders featuring crunchy fried chicken and zesty Bang Bang sauce, perfect for gatherings or a fun dinner at home.

  • Total Time: 80 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders 1x

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

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix 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 breadcrumbs. Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture and fry in hot oil at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Lightly toast slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on bottom buns, top with fried chicken, lettuce, red onion, and optional pickles. Garnish with cilantro and cap with top bun.
  5. Serve: Place sliders on a platter and enjoy with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider baking the chicken. You can also try using crispy tofu for a vegetarian alternative.
