Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into smaller pieces, about the size of your slider buns.
- In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Coat the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, and coat each piece with the flour and breadcrumb mixture.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
-
Assemble the Sliders:
- Lightly toast the mini slider buns in a skillet or oven.
- Spread a generous amount of Bang Bang sauce on the bottom bun.
- Place a piece of fried chicken on top, followed by shredded lettuce, red onion slices, and pickles (if using).
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and top with the other slider bun.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the sliders immediately and enjoy the crispy, spicy, and tangy goodness!
Notes
- You can make the Bang Bang sauce in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
