- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Submerge chicken in marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Dredge and Fry the Chicken: Combine flour and panko breadcrumbs in a dish. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in flour mixture, then fry in oil at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Assemble the Sliders: Toast slider buns, spread Bang Bang sauce on bottom buns, add fried chicken, lettuce, onion, and pickles. Top with cilantro and close with top buns.
- Serve: Place sliders on a platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce.
Notes
For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes. Leftover chicken can be used in salads or wraps.
