Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into slider-sized pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg
- Oil for frying
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Thai-style sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
For Assembly:
- 6 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
- Pickled onions or slaw (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken pieces in a bowl with buttermilk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Prepare Breading: In one bowl, beat the egg. In another, mix flour with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a third, add panko breadcrumbs.
- Bread the Chicken: Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, then coat in panko until well covered.
- Fry: Heat oil in a skillet and fry chicken pieces 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Make Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth.
- Assemble: Spread sauce on buns, add lettuce, place crispy chicken inside, and drizzle more sauce. Top with pickled onions or slaw if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for maximum crunch.
- For thicker crust, double-dip chicken in flour, egg, and panko.
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less Sriracha to the sauce.
- For a lighter version, bake or air fry the chicken instead of deep-frying.
- Use soft slider buns like brioche or Hawaiian rolls for the best flavor balance.
