Creating the perfect Bang Bang Chicken Sliders can be easily achieved by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Clean the chicken tenders and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three shallow bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
3. Bread Chicken: Dip each chicken tender in flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip them in the egg wash, followed by the panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust spiciness to your preference.
7. Assemble Sliders: On each slider bun, add a piece of fried chicken. Drizzle with Bang Bang sauce, then add lettuce, and optional cucumber slices.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions if desired, then place the top bun on.
9. Serve: Arrange sliders on a platter and serve immediately, alongside extra sauce for dipping.
