Bang Bang Chicken Sliders: Crispy, Saucy, and Totally Irresistible
Welcome to another installment of “How can I make chicken exciting again?” because let’s face it—chicken is on repeat in our house, courtesy of my very picky little one. But these Bang Bang Chicken Sliders? They’re a game-changer. Not only did my daughter devour them, but she also demanded a repeat performance (and if you know picky eaters, that’s saying something)!

These sliders are everything: crispy, saucy, sweet, and spicy, all nestled between soft slider buns. It all starts with the star of the show: a homemade bang bang sauce that’s embarrassingly easy to whip up but tastes like something you’d get at a trendy restaurant. Just a simple mix of mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey, and boom—you’ve got magic in a bowl. Seriously, I could probably dip everything I eat in this sauce.
The chicken gets a flavor-packed coating that guarantees maximum crunch and zero bland bites. Pro tip: season at every single step when coating the chicken. It might sound like a lot of work, but trust me, it’s the secret to making every bite ridiculously flavorful. I fried the chicken until it was golden and crispy, then popped it in the oven on a rack to finish cooking and stay crispy. The result? Perfectly juicy, crunchy chicken that holds up even under a generous drizzle of that bang bang sauce.
These sliders aren’t just a dinner win; they’d be perfect for Super Bowl Sunday, a casual get-together, or even a fun date night at home. Pair them with crispy fries, a simple salad, or maybe just a napkin because you’ll be going back for seconds (or thirds).
So, if you’re looking for a recipe that’s fun, flavorful, and guaranteed to please even the pickiest eaters, these Bang Bang Chicken Sliders are it. Make them once, and I promise, they’ll become a regular in your kitchen.

Ingredients
Chicken:
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 8 slider buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Avocado oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then slice them into pieces that fit perfectly on slider buns.
- Bread the chicken: Start by seasoning the flour and the panko with salt and pepper. Then, start coating the chicken pieces in flour, followed by a dip in the beaten eggs. Finish by pressing them into panko breadcrumbs until well-coated.
- Fry to golden perfection: Heat a generous amount of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken pieces for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they’re beautifully golden and crispy. Once done, transfer them to a wrack on a baking sheet.
- Bake to finish cooking: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
- Whip up the Bang Bang sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the slider buns until just golden to add a bit of crunch.
- Assemble the sliders: Add a crispy chicken piece to the bottom half of each bun. Drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce.
- Serve and enjoy: Place the top buns on the sliders and serve immediately. Dig in and savor every bite!
