Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Sliders
- 2-3 pieces of chicken breast or tenders
- 1 cup crunchy panko crumbs
- 1 egg, whisked for coating
- ½ cup plain flour
- Small slider rolls
- Fresh lettuce
- Crisp pickles
Bang Bang Sauce
- ¼ cup creamy mayo
- 2 tbsp tangy sweet chili sauce
- 1-2 tbsp hot sriracha, based on heat preference
- 1 tbsp tangy rice vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into slider-sized chunks and season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Coat the Chicken: Dredge each piece in plain flour, dip it into the whisked egg, then thoroughly coat with crunchy panko crumbs to ensure a crispy texture.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked chicken to paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine creamy mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha (adjust based on desired spiciness), and rice vinegar. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and blended.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place fresh lettuce and a crisp pickle slice on the bottom half of each slider roll. Top with a crispy chicken piece and drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the sriracha quantity to control the spice level of the sauce.
- Use fresh lettuce and pickles for the best crunch and contrast in texture.
- For a healthier option, consider baking the chicken pieces instead of frying.
- Slider rolls can be substituted with small buns of your choice.
