Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds thin sliced chicken breasts
- 12 slider rolls
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
Breading and Coating Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Generously coat chicken breasts with a blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring even seasoning on both surfaces.
- Create three distinct dredging stations: first with a combined flour and cornstarch mixture, second with a whisked blend of buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg, and third with seasoned bread crumbs.
- Carefully coat each chicken piece by first dusting with the flour mixture, then thoroughly dipping in the buttermilk mixture, and finally rolling in bread crumbs, pressing firmly to achieve a complete, crisp coating.
- Heat oil in a skillet to medium temperature (around 350°F) and fry chicken pieces until they transform into a deep golden brown color, approximately 3-4 minutes per side, cooking in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
- Once cooled slightly, slice chicken into slider-sized portions, placing each piece on soft buns and topping with melted mozzarella cheese and a generous drizzle of spicy bang bang sauce.
Notes
- Mix extra spices like paprika or cayenne into flour for more kick and depth of flavor.
- Bake breaded chicken at 425°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying to reduce oil content and calories.
- Swap regular flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or gluten-free panko for celiac-friendly sliders.
