Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting the chicken breasts or tenders into slider-sized pieces and season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Coating the Chicken
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip each floured chicken piece into the whisked egg.
- Coat each piece thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat a layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until deeply golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Making the Sauce
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar.
Assembly
- Take the slider rolls and assemble the sliders starting with lettuce, followed by a fried chicken piece, and drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce.
- Finish off with a pickle slice and the top half of the slider bun.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate chicken in a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and buttermilk before frying. Keep sliders assembled just before serving to ensure crispiness.
