Instructions
Making Bang Bang Chicken Sliders is straightforward. Follow these clear and concise steps for best results:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, add the chicken thighs and pour the buttermilk over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
2. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat enough oil to shallow fry the chicken over medium-high heat.
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring even coverage.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Mix until well blended.
7. Assemble the Sliders: On each slider bun, place a piece of fried chicken. Add a drizzle of the Bang Bang sauce, leafy greens, pickled cucumbers, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions on top.
8. Serve Immediately: Assemble as many sliders as desired and serve while crispy.
