Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 12 slider buns
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine buttermilk and chicken pieces. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha to make the Bang Bang sauce.
- In another bowl, toss coleslaw mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to lightly pickle it. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Toss the fried chicken pieces in the Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
- Toast slider buns if desired, then layer with slaw, sauced chicken, and top with the bun lids.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Make it spicier by adding extra Sriracha to the sauce.
- Use pre-cooked chicken tenders or nuggets in a pinch.
- You can bake the chicken instead of frying for a lighter version.
- Great with pickles or extra drizzle of Bang Bang sauce on top!
