- You'll be hooked on these bang bang chicken sliders! They've got everything – crunchy chicken, gooey cheese, and a sweet-hot sauce that'll have everyone asking for seconds. I whipped these up for a football gathering and now my buddies demand I bring them to every get-together!
What Makes Them Stand Out
- The show-stopper here is that bang bang sauce – it's got the perfect mix of sweetness and kick that you can't stop eating. The chicken keeps its crunch and the whole thing comes together faster than you'd expect. They're great for feeding lots of people or just jazzing up your regular dinner routine!
Gather Your Supplies
- Slider Buns: Pick soft, buttery ones that can handle the sauce.
- Chicken Cutlets: Thin them out for maximum crispiness.
- Gooey Cheese: Mozzarella does the trick perfectly.
- Sauce Components: Mayo, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, honey.
- Cooking Oil: Any type in your pantry will do.
How To Make Bang Bang Chicken Sliders
- Whip Up Your Signature Sauce
- Combine mayo, sriracha, sweet chili sauce and honey in a bowl. Go easy on the hot stuff at first - you can always add more! Sample it and adjust until it hits the spot.
- Organize Your Breading
- Create your dipping stations with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Don't forget to season each component - flavorless chicken is a no-go!
- Get Frying
- Heat your oil until it's just right - toss in a breadcrumb to check, it should bubble immediately. Cook chicken in small batches so they don't touch - this keeps them super crunchy.
- Assemble Your Sliders
- Cut your buns, add a piece of crispy chicken, top with cheese and pour on that amazing sauce. Don't be stingy with the sauce - it's what makes these special!
- Time to Dig In
- Arrange them on a serving plate, put extra sauce in a dish on the side, and watch how quickly they vanish!
Tips For Success
- Make sure your oil stays nice and hot or you'll end up with soggy chicken. Flatten those cutlets really thin for quicker cooking. Want a healthier version? Try your air fryer instead! You can prep most components ahead and just put everything together when you're ready to eat.

Perfect Pairings
- These sliders go great with some crunchy fries or tater tots. Add a side of creamy slaw to cool things down. Throw in some raw veggies for extra crunch. And don't forget to mix up plenty of extra sauce for dipping!
Prep In Advance
- You can cook your chicken and mix your sauce the day before if you're short on time. Just store everything separately in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, warm the chicken in your oven until it's crispy again, then build your sliders fresh. They'll taste just as amazing!
