Instructions
Making these Bang Bang Chicken Sliders can be effortlessly enjoyable if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
2. Season Flour: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk. Place the Panko breadcrumbs in another bowl.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then, dip it in the buttermilk before coating it with Panko breadcrumbs.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Ensure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
6. Fry Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
7. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust seasoning to your heat preference.
8. Drain Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Coat with Sauce: Toss the fried chicken pieces in the prepared Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
10. Assemble Sliders: On each slider bun, place a piece of the Bang Bang chicken, followed by some shredded lettuce and slices of cucumber.
