Description

These Bang Bang Chicken Sliders are a bold, flavor-packed twist on classic fried chicken sliders. Crispy, juicy chicken meets a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce all tucked into soft buns with crunchy lettuce and tangy toppings. Perfect for parties, game day, or whenever you want sliders with serious personality!


Ingredients

For the Chicken:
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into slider-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 (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

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken with buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Chill for 30 minutes.

Bread Chicken: Mix flour and panko. Remove chicken from marinade and coat in breadcrumb mixture.

Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 mins per side. Drain on paper towels.

Make Sauce: Whisk all Bang Bang sauce ingredients together until smooth.

Assemble Sliders: Toast slider buns if desired. Add lettuce, a piece of crispy chicken, a drizzle of sauce, red onion, and pickles. Garnish with cilantro.
