Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce

  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

For the Sliders:

  • 12 mini slider buns

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion

  • ½ cup pickles (optional)

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    • In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    • Add chicken pieces and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).

  2. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce

    • In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth.

    • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.

  3. Fry the Chicken

    • In a shallow dish, combine flour and panko breadcrumbs.

    • Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in flour mixture.

    • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

    • Fry chicken in batches, 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. Assemble the Sliders

    • Lightly toast slider buns until golden brown.

    • Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom bun, top with fried chicken pieces, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if using.

    • Garnish with fresh cilantro and place the top bun on the slider.

  5. Serve

    • Arrange sliders on a platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping. Enjoy hot and fresh!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Marinate chicken overnight for extra flavor and tenderness.

  • Crispier Chicken: Double coat the chicken in flour and panko for an extra crunchy crust.

  • Heat Level: Adjust sriracha in the sauce to suit your spice preference.

  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with fries, sweet potato wedges, or a simple coleslaw.
