Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 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

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Sliders

  • 12 pieces mini slider buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup pickles optional
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken pieces and submerge; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Making the Bang Bang Sauce

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder.
  • Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as needed.

Cooking the Chicken

  • In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry in 350°F (175°C) oil in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sliders

  • Lightly toast the slider buns.
  • Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns and top with fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired.
  • Garnish with cilantro and cap with the top bun.

Serving

  • Transfer sliders to a serving platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.

Notes

Marinate longer for extra flavor. Using panko breadcrumbs gives a nice crunch. Adjust sriracha in the sauce for desired spiciness. For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying.
