  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken

  • Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix flour, panko, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat chicken pieces in the mixture, pressing lightly to stick.

2. Cook the Chicken

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Fry chicken until golden and crispy (about 5–6 minutes).
  • Drain on paper towels.

3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce

  • In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey.
  • Taste and adjust spice level.

4. Assemble the Sliders

  • Slice buns in half and place bottoms in a baking dish.
  • Layer lettuce, crispy chicken, and drizzle with bang bang sauce.

5. Garlic Butter Topping

  • Mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley.
  • Brush over the tops of the buns.

Tips for Success

  • Make ahead: Fry the chicken and store it, then reheat in the oven before assembling.
  • Healthier option: Air-fry the chicken instead of deep frying.
  • Customize heat: Use more or less sriracha depending on your spice preference.
