Instructions
Follow these clear steps to create your amazing Bang Bang Chicken Sliders:
1. Prepare Chicken: Trim and cut chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces. Ensure they are uniform for even cooking.
2. Set Up Breading Station:
– In one bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
– In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
– In a third bowl, pour in the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Coat Chicken:
– Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
– Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
– Finally, coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to stick.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat. To check if it’s ready, drop in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.
5. Fry Chicken: Carefully place breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain.
6. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha (if using). Adjust the spiciness to your liking.
7. Assemble Sliders:
– Spread the sauce generously on the bottom half of each slider bun.
– Place a piece of fried chicken on top, followed by lettuce, pickles, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
– Top with the bun’s upper half.
8. Serve: Arrange assembled sliders on a platter and serve immediately while warm.
With these steps, you’ll create Bang Bang Chicken Sliders that are not only amazing but also delightful for everyone around!
