For the Bang Bang Sauce:

Instructions
-
Prep the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge). -
Breading the Chicken:
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another dish, place the panko breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, dredge it first in flour, and then in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly. -
Fry the Chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Drain on paper towels. -
Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sriracha for extra heat if desired. -
Assemble the Sliders:
Toast the mini slider buns lightly. Spread a spoonful of Bang Bang sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on top. Add a spoonful of shredded lettuce, a few slices of red onion, and pickles (if using). Top with fresh cilantro for garnish.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious sliders!
Notes
-
Adjust the level of spiciness in the Bang Bang sauce by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha.
-
You can make the chicken crispy by double-breading it (dipping in flour, buttermilk, then breadcrumbs).
- These sliders can be served as an appetizer or a main dish at parties or gatherings.
