Here’s why these sliders are such a hit in my kitchen (and soon, yours too):

• Perfect for sharing: Game day? Birthday? Girls’ night in? These sliders show up and show out.

• Customizable: Add lettuce, pickles, or more heat—make it your own!
• A hit with picky eaters: That golden crunch + gooey cheese is pure kiddo kryptonite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the chicken:

• 1½ pounds thin-sliced chicken breasts
• Kosher salt, fresh black pepper, garlic powder (to taste)

For the breading:

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs (or more as needed)
• Vegetable or canola oil (for frying)

For assembly:

• 12 slices mozzarella cheese
• 12 slider rolls
• Bang Bang sauce (prepare separately)

🔥 Hot tip: If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought crispy chicken tenders and just focus on assembling the sliders. No judgment here—busy moms unite!

Let’s Make Bang Bang Chicken Sliders

1. Season the Chicken
   Grab your chicken breasts and give them some love with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
2. Set Up the Dredging Station
   You’ll need three bowls:
   • Bowl 1: Mix flour + cornstarch
   • Bowl 2: Buttermilk + hot sauce + egg (whisk it good!)
   • Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs
3. Dredge + Coat
   One by one, dip each seasoned chicken slice into the flour, then the buttermilk mix, then the panko. Press those crumbs in like you mean it—they’re the crunch factor!
4. Fry to Golden Perfection
   Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet. Working in batches, fry each piece until golden brown and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd that pan—crispy chicken needs space to shine!
5. Drain + Sauce Prep
   Once fried, let the chicken chill on a paper towel-lined plate. While it drains, whip up your Bang Bang sauce if you haven’t already. (Psst… mayo, sweet chili sauce, a touch of Sriracha—that’s the magic mix.)
6. Assemble Like a Pro
   Cut chicken into slider-sized pieces. Place each piece on a bun bottom, top with mozzarella, and drizzle that luscious Bang Bang sauce on top. Add the bun top and give yourself a high-five.
7. Serve While Hot
   These beauties are best when warm and melty. Serve immediately and watch them vanish.

Aneta’s Kitchen Story 💬

Let me tell you—these sliders were a total accident turned obsession. I first whipped them up for a last-minute backyard party, using what I had in the fridge. I didn’t even think they’d be a hit, but my friends still talk about “those magical chicken sliders” to this day. Now they’re my go-to for anything that needs a little extra wow without the stress.

Quick Tips for the Best Bang Bang Chicken Sliders

• Double-dredge for extra crunch: If you’re all about that crispy life, give the chicken a second trip through the buttermilk and breadcrumbs.
• Use a wire rack: After frying, place chicken on a rack over a baking sheet. Keeps that crust crisp!
• Warm the buns: Just a quick toast in the oven or skillet makes a world of difference.
• Bang Bang sauce consistency: Too thick? Add a splash of lime juice. Too thin? A spoonful more mayo does the trick.

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

7. Close with the top bun and serve while warm for best texture and flavor.

Notes

You can prep the chicken ahead and refrigerate or freeze until ready to fry.
Add shredded lettuce, pickles, or coleslaw for extra crunch.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
For a shortcut, use frozen crispy chicken tenders and focus on assembly!
