Description
Crispy, golden chicken sliders topped with a creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce. These 30-minute sliders are perfect for parties, game day, or an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 chicken breasts or chicken tenders
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha, adjusted to taste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 6 slider buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Pickle slices
- Additional toppings as desired
Instructions
1. If using chicken breasts, slice them into smaller pieces to fit the slider buns. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
3. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
5. To assemble, place lettuce and pickles on the bottom half of each slider bun. Add a piece of crispy chicken and drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce.
6. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
For extra crispy chicken, double coat by dipping the chicken back into the egg and breadcrumbs after the first coating.
Reduce the sriracha for a milder sauce or add more for extra heat.
Serve immediately after assembling to keep the chicken crispy.
You can also bake or air fry the chicken as a lighter alternative.
