Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Coating
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
Additional
- Slider buns
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly and to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Prepare Flour Mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This seasoned flour will help flavor and coat the chicken pieces.
- Coat Chicken. Dip each chicken piece into buttermilk, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum crispiness.
- Bread Chicken. After coating with flour, roll each chicken piece in panko breadcrumbs. The panko adds extra crunch to the chicken once baked.
- Bake Chicken. Arrange the breaded chicken pieces evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is a golden, crispy texture.
- Make Bang Bang Sauce. While the chicken bakes, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a bowl to create a creamy, spicy, and sweet sauce that perfectly complements the chicken.
- Assemble Sliders. Place the baked crispy chicken pieces on the slider buns and generously drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce.
- Garnish and Serve. Top the sliders with chopped green onions for freshness and serve immediately while the chicken is hot and the buns soft.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the amount of sriracha in the Bang Bang sauce.
- Make sure chicken pieces are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
- Panko breadcrumbs can be substituted with regular breadcrumbs, but the texture will be less crunchy.
- Slider buns can be lightly toasted for added texture.
- Leftover Bang Bang sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
