Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • pounds thin sliced chicken breasts

  • Kosher salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Garlic powder, to taste

For the Breading:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup cornstarch

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs (or more as needed)

  • Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying

For Assembly:

  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese

  • 12 slider buns

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional)

  • Bang Bang sauce (prepared separately)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce

  • 12 tablespoons sriracha

  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Season the Chicken
    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Pound to ½-inch thickness if needed.

  • Set Up Breading Station
    Use 3 shallow bowls:
    • Bowl 1 – Flour and cornstarch
    • Bowl 2 – Buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg, whisked
    • Bowl 3 – Panko breadcrumbs

  • Bread the Chicken
    Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in buttermilk mixture, then coat thoroughly in panko, pressing breadcrumbs firmly to adhere.

  • Fry Until Crispy
    Heat ¼ inch oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken in batches 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  • Make the Bang Bang Sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust spice level to taste.

 

  • Assemble the Sliders
    Cut fried chicken to fit buns. Place chicken on bottom buns, top with mozzarella slice, drizzle bang bang sauce, and add shredded lettuce if using. Cap with top buns and serve immediately.

Notes

• Keep fried chicken warm in a 325°F oven for up to 1 hour.
• Let sauce come to room temperature before serving.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet—fry in batches for best texture.
• Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.
