Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Breading

  • 1 1/2 pounds thin sliced chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt, fresh black pepper and garlic powder, to season
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups (or more as needed) Panko bread crumbs
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slider rolls

Bang Bang Sauce

  • Whisked together (exact ingredients not specified in recipe)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken on both sides with kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder. This enhances the flavor base of the chicken breasts.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Prepare three bowls: mix the flour and cornstarch in one bowl; whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg in a second bowl; place the panko bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each seasoned chicken breast first in the flour mixture, tapping off excess, then dip into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat thoroughly with panko bread crumbs. Press crumbs firmly for a good coating. Repeat for all pieces.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Heat a thin layer of vegetable or canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together the Bang Bang sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside (ingredients for the sauce are not detailed, typically a mix of mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and hot sauce).
  6. Assemble the Sliders: Cut each chicken cutlet into smaller slider-sized pieces. Place on slider rolls, top each piece with a slice of mozzarella cheese while still warm, then drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet to maintain even frying and crispiness.
  • The Bang Bang sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure chicken reaches safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Slider rolls can be lightly toasted for added texture and flavor.
