Description
Bang Bang Chicken Sliders are small, saucy sandwiches that transform leftover or fresh chicken into a delightful meal, dressed in a sweet-spicy sauce and served on soft buns.
Ingredients
Chicken and Breading
- 2-3 pieces chicken breasts or chicken tenders (Use tenders for easier preparation.)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Panko is preferred for a crunchy texture.)
- oil for frying (Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point.)
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1-2 tbsp sriracha (Adjust for desired spice level.)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Slider Assembly
- Slider buns (Use slider-sized or regular buns.)
- Lettuce (Any type of salad greens can work.)
- Pickles (Adds a brightness to the sliders.)
- Other toppings (optional) (Cheddar cheese, additional vegetables, etc.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice chicken breasts into smaller pieces to fit slider buns. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dredge chicken pieces in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
