Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a bowl with buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, coat in the flour mixture, and fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Toast the slider buns lightly. Place a spoonful of Bang Bang sauce on the bottom bun, add fried chicken, shredded lettuce, and pickles, then top with more sauce and the bun.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best crispy texture!

FAQs:

Can I bake the chicken instead of frying?
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

How spicy is this recipe?
The heat is moderate, but you can reduce the Sriracha or increase the honey to adjust.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Fried chicken is best fresh, but you can prep the sauce and chicken in advance and reheat before serving.

Notes & More:

  • For extra crunch, try using panko breadcrumbs in the coating.
  • Swap out chicken for shrimp to make Bang Bang Shrimp Sliders.
  • Serve with a side of coleslaw or fries for a complete meal.

Enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Sliders!
