  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders

Ingredients

Chicken and Breading

  • 1 1/2 pounds thin sliced chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups (or more as needed) Panko bread crumbs
  • Vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slider rolls

Bang Bang Sauce

  • Ingredients for Bang Bang Sauce: (not specified in recipe but typically includes mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning the thinly sliced chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder to ensure each piece is well flavored.
  2. Prepare Breading Station: Set up three separate bowls: one with the flour and cornstarch mixed together, another with the buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg whisked together, and a third with the panko bread crumbs ready for coating.
  3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each seasoned chicken breast first in the flour mixture, tapping off any excess. Then dip it into the buttermilk and hot sauce mixture, letting excess drip off. Finally, press the chicken into the panko bread crumbs until fully coated. Place breaded chicken on a plate and repeat for all pieces.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Add a thin layer of vegetable or canola oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Make Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together the bang bang sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. (Though the exact sauce ingredients are not specified, typical bang bang sauce includes mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice.)
  6. Assemble Sliders: Cut the fried chicken cutlets into smaller pieces and place them onto the slider rolls. Top each piece with a slice of mozzarella cheese while the chicken is still warm so it slightly melts. Drizzle generously with bang bang sauce.
  7. Serve: Serve the sliders immediately while hot and enjoy the combination of crunchy, creamy, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure the oil is hot before frying to get a crispy crust without absorbing too much oil.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying the chicken to maintain consistent cooking and crispiness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For a spicier kick, add extra hot sauce to the buttermilk mixture or bang bang sauce.
  • Slider rolls can be lightly toasted for added texture if desired.
