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
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for the sauce)
- 12 mini slider buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup pickles (optional)

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, whisk buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Adjust to taste.
- Dredge and Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry in hot oil (350°F) until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Sliders: Toast slider buns, spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom, add fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles. Top with cilantro and bun.
- Serve: Place sliders on a platter with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a lighter version, bake chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes. Customize spice levels and toppings as desired.
