– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Vegetable oil, for frying
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise

To create Bang Bang Chicken Sliders, just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin fillets for quicker cooking.
2. Set Up Dredging Stations: In one bowl, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge Chicken: Dip each chicken fillet first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat them evenly.
4. Heat Oil: In a large frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Prepare Sauce: While the chicken cooks, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
7. Remove and Drain: After frying, place the chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Assemble Sliders: On each slider bun, spread a generous amount of the Bang Bang sauce. Place a piece of fried chicken on top and add shredded lettuce.
9. Garnish: Add sliced green onions and pickles if desired. Top with the other half of the slider bun.
10. Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter for everyone to enjoy.
These clear steps make it easy for anyone to create these flavorful sliders, guaranteeing satisfaction with every bite.
