Instructions
Creating these wonderful Bang Bang Chicken Sliders involves a few simple steps. Follow these instructions to achieve delicious results:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 15-30 minutes to tenderize.
2. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
6. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Mix until creamy and well-blended.
7. Assemble the Sliders: Remove the cooked chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Construct the Sliders: Spread a generous amount of sauce on each slider bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on top, add lettuce leaves, and garnish with sliced green onions.
9. Top with the Bun: Close each slider with the top half of the bun.
