Chicken and Breading
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying (about 2 cups)
Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
Assembly
- Hamburger buns or slider buns (4-8 depending on size)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, pickles, sliced onions
- Preheat Oil: Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C) to ensure perfect frying temperature for crispy chicken.
- Prepare Chicken: Lightly tenderize chicken breasts if desired, then season both sides with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Bread the Chicken: Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly in panko, pressing to adhere.
- Fry the Chicken: Carefully fry each breaded chicken breast in hot oil until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool slightly for easier handling.
- Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust amount of sriracha based on preferred spice level.
- Slice Chicken: Cut the fried chicken breasts into strips suitable for slider assembly.
- Assemble Sliders: Spread a generous amount of the Bang Bang sauce onto the bottom half of each bun, place chicken strips on top, and add optional toppings like lettuce, pickles, or sliced onions to taste.
- Serve: Place the bun tops on sliders and serve immediately while chicken is warm and crispy.
Notes
- Use fresh chicken breasts for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust sriracha quantity to control spice level according to preference.
- For a lighter version, bake the breaded chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
- Slider buns work best to balance the chicken portion, but regular hamburger buns can be used if sliders aren’t available.
- Optional toppings can be customized to include avocado, cheese, or coleslaw for extra taste variety.
