Why You’ll Love This Bang Bang Chicken Slider Recipe
These sliders are fun, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying! Perfect for a busy evening, a game day gathering, or just when you want to impress someone special without breaking a sweat. They feature tender, crispy chicken drizzled with a sweet and spicy sauce, all sandwiched between soft slider buns. It’s comfort food at its finest!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko works like a charm!)
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Sriracha (or more if you’re feeling spicy!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Slider buns (around 8, depending on your crowd)
- Shredded lettuce and sliced pickles for toppings
Making Your Bang Bang Chicken Sliders
Step 1: Prep Your Chicken
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (that’s a warm hug from the kitchen). Now, pound those chicken breasts until they are about 1 inch thick—this helps them cook evenly and makes you feel like a kitchen rockstar! Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: The Breading Station
Set yourself up for the breading magic! Grab three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for your breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then the egg wash, and finally, into the breadcrumbs. Feel free to get creative with herbs in your breadcrumbs for an extra kick!
Step 3: Bake the Chicken
Lay those beauties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and have reached a safe internal temperature. No one likes sick chicken—trust me!
Step 4: Make the Bang Bang Sauce
While the chicken is baking, let’s whip up that delectable sauce. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. This is where the fun happens! Adjust the Sriracha based on your spice tolerance. If your mouth doesn’t start watering a little, you may have gone too light!
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Once the chicken is ready, let it cool for a few minutes (just enough time to sneak a bite!). Slice the baked chicken into strips and drizzle generously with your Bang Bang sauce. Layer the sliders with shredded lettuce, pickles, and, of course, that crispy chicken on the buns. Yum!
Cooking Tips
- Don’t worry if your sauce looks slightly lumpy—it’s all part of the magic!
- If your chicken is feeling a bit shy in the seasoning department, give it a light sprinkle of garlic powder for an extra flavor boost.
- Microwave extra sliders for a quick lunch the next day; they make for an amazing leftover!
