Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 slider buns
  • 1/2 cup coleslaw mix
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine chicken pieces, buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Ensure chicken is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  2. Prepare the Breading: Whisk together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a separate large bowl. Combine well.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating completely and pressing to adhere. Carefully place breaded chicken into hot oil, frying in batches for 5-7 minutes per batch until golden brown and cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temperature). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Lightly toast slider buns if desired. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw mix. Place 2-3 pieces of fried chicken on the coleslaw. Drizzle more Bang Bang sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Place the top half of the buns on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Spice Level: Adjust sriracha in the Bang Bang sauce to your preference.
  • Chicken: Chicken breasts can be used, but cut smaller and avoid overcooking.
  • Buns: Hawaiian rolls are a popular choice, but any slider bun works.
  • Coleslaw: Make your own by shredding cabbage and carrots and mixing with mayonnaise and vinegar if pre-made mix is unavailable.
  • Air Fryer Option: Air fry breaded chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Make Ahead: Bang Bang sauce can be made up to a week ahead; chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours ahead.
