Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 12 mini slider buns
- Shredded lettuce
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Optional: pickles or fresh cilantro for garnish
Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1–2 tbsp sriracha (to taste)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Pinch garlic powder
Instructions
- Cut chicken into slider-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder for the Bang Bang sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in the flour-panko mixture until fully coated.
- Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Lightly toast slider buns. Spread sauce on the bottom halves, add chicken, drizzle with more sauce, and top with lettuce, onion, and optional garnishes. Place top buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter version, bake coated chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes.
- Vegetarian twist: Use fried cauliflower bites instead of chicken.
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less sriracha to the sauce.
