– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– Vegetable oil, for frying

Creating these Bang Bang Chicken Sliders is simple if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into small pieces or strips. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, set up your breading station. Place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they’re well-coated.
4. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
5. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is frying, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Mix well until fully blended.
6. Drain Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Assemble the Sliders: Take each slider bun and spread a little bit of the bang bang sauce on the bottom half. Place a piece of crispy chicken on top, then add more sauce if desired. Top with sliced green onions and cilantro.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Cap with the top half of the slider buns and serve immediately while warm.
These straightforward steps guarantee that your Bang Bang Chicken Sliders will turn out deliciously every time!
