Equipment

Large skillet or frying pan Use a heavy-bottom skillet for even frying
Shallow bowls For setting up a breading station
Kitchen thermometer Helps keep oil at the right temperature
Wire rack or paper towel-lined plate For draining fried chicken

Ingredients

1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into slider-sized pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs beaten
1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
vegetable oil for frying
0.5 cup mayonnaise
0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha adjust to taste
12 Hawaiian rolls or slider buns
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cucumber thinly sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces and pat them dry.
Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.
Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip into eggs, then coat with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a large skillet. Fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the Bang Bang sauce.
Assemble the sliders by placing a crispy chicken piece on each roll. Add mozzarella cheese if using, then top with lettuce, cucumber, and a generous drizzle of sauce. Add the top bun and serve.

Notes

For a lighter version, cook the breaded chicken in the air fryer at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Boneless chicken thighs can be used for a juicier slider.
Leftover chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to keep it crispy.
These sliders are perfect for birthday parties, game days, or anytime you want a fun dinner that makes memories in the kitchen.
