Bang Bang Chicken Sliders
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Bang Bang Sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon 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 (optional)
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. Combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Craft the Sauce:
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until the sauce is homogeneous and creamy.
Fry the Chicken:
Remove chicken from the marinade. Dredge each piece first in flour, then in panko breadcrumbs ensuring full coverage. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until golden and crisp.
Assemble the Sliders:
Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with a piece of fried chicken, add shredded lettuce, slices of red onion, pickles, and cilantro if desired.
