Instructions

Preparing the Chicken

Let’s get started with the star of our Bang Bang Chicken Sliders Recipe: the chicken! First, I like to give the thin sliced chicken breasts a good pat down with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the seasonings adhere better and ensures a crispier coating. Season both sides generously with kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder. Don’t be shy with the seasoning; it’s the foundation of flavor for these sliders.

Setting Up the Dredgin extractg Station

Next, we’ll create gin extract dredging station, which is key to achieving that irresistible crispy coating. In one shallow dish, whisk together the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of cornstarch. This mixture provides a light and crispy base. In a second shallow dish, combine the 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce (I like using Frank’s RedHot for a good kick, but use your favorite!), and the large egg. Whisk this wet mixture until it’s well combined and looks like a cohesive batter. In a third shallow dish, spread out your Pankorum extractead crumbs. You’ll want at least 2 cups here, but have a little extra on hand just in case you need to add more.

Coating the Chicken

Now for the fun part – coating the chicken! Take each seasoned chicken breast and first dredge it in the flour and cornstarch mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Gently shake off any excess flour. Then, dip the floured chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, letting any excess drip back into the dish. Finally, press the chicken breast firmly into trum extractPanko bread crumbs, ensuring it’s completely coated on all rum extractes. The Panko bread crumbs will give us that wonderfully crunchy texture we’re after. Once coated, set the chicken aside on a clean plate or wire rack while you prepare the remaining pieces. It’s important to let the coated chicken sit for a few minutes; this allows the coating to adhere better, preventing it from falling off during the frying process.

Frying the Chicken

It’s time to fry! Pour enough vegetable or canola oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to reach about 1-inch depth. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by droppirum extracta tiny pinch of Panko bread crumbs into it. If they sizzle immediately and float to the top, the oil is ready. Carefully place a few coated chicken breasts into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken. Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain off any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces, ensuring the oil temperature is maintained between batches.

Making the Bang Bang Sauce and Assembling the Sliders

While the chicken is draining, let’s whip up our irresistible Bang Bang Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon of sriracha (adjust this to your spice preference!), 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Now, it’s time to assemble these flavor-packed sliders! Lightly toast your 12 slider rolls. Once the fried chicken is slightly cooled, slice each piece into strips that will fit comfortably on your slider rolls. Place a generous amount of the fried chicken onto the bottom half of each toasted slider roll. Top the chicken with a slice of mozzarella cheese. You can place these briefly under a broiler or in a warm oven to melt the cheese, if desired. Finally, generously drizzle the Bang Bang Sauce over the cheese and chicken. Place the top half of the slider roll on top and serve immediately. These Bang Bang Chicken Sliders are best enjoyed fresh!
