How to make Bang Bang Chicken Sliders (Overview)

Making these sliders is a breeze! Start by seasoning the chicken; trust me, seasoning is key! Then it’s all about that breading station—flour, eggs, and panko. Don’t skip this part; it gives the chicken an irresistible crunch. Fry until they’re beautifully golden, whip up the sauce, and then assemble everything into those delicious buns.

Pro tip: Make sure your oil is hot enough! If it’s not, your chicken will end up soggy instead of crispy. Nobody wants that!

How to serve Bang Bang Chicken Sliders

These sliders shine on their own, but why not kick it up a notch? Serve them with:

Crispy fries or sweet potato wedges for some crunch.
A refreshing slaw to balance the richness of the sauce.
Colorful veggies like cherry tomatoes and cucumbers for a pop of freshness.

As you bite into these sliders, the crispy texture, savory chicken, and sweet-spicy sauce will create a flavor explosion that’s pure magic!

How to store Bang Bang Chicken Sliders

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), these sliders will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the fried chicken separately; it’ll last about 2 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just pop the chicken back in the oven to reheat and crisp up while you toast your buns. Easy peasy!

Tips to make Bang Bang Chicken Sliders

Make Ahead: Prep the chicken and breading in advance, then fry just before serving.
Spice it Up: Increase the amount of sriracha if you like a little more heat!
Swap Toppings: Try different toppings like avocado slices or jalapeños for some zest.
Bun Choices: Use any slider bun you love—sweet Hawaiian rolls work wonders here!
Keep it Crisp: Fry in batches if you have a lot of chicken; overcrowding the pan can make them soggy.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding some Asian slaw on top for a crunchy twist or substitute the chicken with tofu for a delightful vegan option. The flavor of the Bang Bang sauce pairs beautifully with just about anything!
