Crispy fried chicken sliders topped with mozzarella cheese and a spicy homemade Bang Bang sauce, served on slider buns with optional toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds thin-sliced chicken breasts or tenders
  • Kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder, for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs (or more, as needed)
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slider buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, pickles, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Season both sides of the thin-sliced chicken breasts or tenders with kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Set up your dredging stations. In one shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg. In a third shallow bowl, place the Panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each piece of seasoned chicken: first into the flour mixture (tap off excess), then into the buttermilk mixture (let excess drip off), and finally coat thoroughly in the Panko breadcrumbs. Place the breaded chicken on a plate or baking sheet.
  4. Heat a thin layer of vegetable or canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Remove and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. While the chicken fries, prepare the Bang Bang sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth and creamy.
  6. To assemble the sliders, cut the cooked chicken into pieces appropriate for your slider buns. Place the bottom halves of the slider buns on a serving platter. Top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a piece of crispy chicken.
  7. Generously drizzle the homemade Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and cheese. Add any optional toppings like lettuce or pickles, then cover with the top halves of the slider buns.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy these deliciously messy sliders!
