For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sriracha sauce adjust to taste

For Assembly:

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

  • Slice chicken breasts into small pieces suitable for sliders.
  • In one shallow bowl, add flour mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg.
  • Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Coat the Chicken:

  • Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture.
  • Dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Fry chicken pieces for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Air Fryer Option: Spray breaded chicken lightly with oil and air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.

Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder.
  • Mix well and adjust spice level as desired.

Assemble the Sliders:

  • Lightly toast slider buns if desired.
  • Place a piece of crispy chicken on each bottom bun.
  • Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce.
  • Top with cabbage slaw, pickles, jalapeños, sesame seeds, and green onions.
  • Close with top buns and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the sriracha to control spiciness.
  • Chicken can be baked instead of fried for a lighter version.
  • Bang Bang sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
