Instructions
Making Bang Bang Chicken Sliders can be a fun and rewarding process. Follow these steps to create your delicious sliders:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to ensure tenderness and flavor.
2. Prepare the Breading: In another bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This mixture will create a crispy crust for the chicken.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering. This will ensure a perfect fry.
4. Bread the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
6. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
7. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half, and place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half. Drizzle with Bang Bang sauce and top with the other half of the bun.
8. Garnish (Optional): Add chopped green onions on top for an extra touch of flavor and color.
