For the Sliders:

Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
-
Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces, about the size of a slider bun.
-
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
-
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
-
-
Dredge the Chicken:
-
Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, coating it completely.
-
Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well-coated with breadcrumbs.
-
-
Fry the Chicken:
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the chicken pieces in batches and fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
-
Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
-
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust the sriracha if you want it spicier.
-
-
Assemble the Sliders:
-
Slice the slider buns in half.
-
Place a layer of shredded lettuce on the bottom half of each bun.
-
Add 2-3 pieces of fried chicken on top of the lettuce.
-
Drizzle the bang bang sauce generously over the chicken.
-
Add sliced pickles if desired for a touch of crunch and tang.
-
-
Serve:
-
Top the sliders with the bun tops and serve immediately. These sliders are great with crispy fries or a simple side salad.
-
Notes
-
If you want to make these sliders even quicker, you can use pre-cooked crispy chicken tenders instead of frying the chicken yourself.
-
The bang bang sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
-
You can add shredded cabbage or coleslaw to the sliders for an extra crunch.
-
For a healthier version, you can bake the chicken pieces instead of frying them.
