Description

Crispy, juicy chicken bites tossed in a creamy, sweet, and spicy bang bang sauce, all packed into soft slider buns. Perfect for parties, game days, or a quick dinner!

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 egg
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the bang bang sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

For assembling the sliders:

  • 12 slider buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup pickles (optional)

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken:

    • In a bowl, mix buttermilk and egg. Add chicken pieces and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for extra tenderness).
  • Coat and fry the chicken:

    • In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
    • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
    • Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.
    • Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • Make the bang bang sauce:

    • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
  • Toss the chicken in sauce:

    • In a large bowl, toss the crispy chicken pieces with the bang bang sauce until evenly coated.
  • Assemble the sliders:

    • Toast the slider buns if desired.
    • Add shredded lettuce to the bottom bun, then place bang bang chicken on top.
    • Garnish with green onions and pickles (if using).
    • Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately!

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can bake or air-fry the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha.
  • Serve with extra bang bang sauce on the side for dipping
