Ingredients
  

  • Chicken
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast butterflied and pounded thin
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup avocado oil or other vegetable oil for frying
  • Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • Assembly
  • 12 small rolls such as Hawaiian or sourdough
  • 24 lettuce leaves rinsed and dried

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Shallow bowls
  • Large skillet or cast iron pan
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels
  • Knife for slicing rolls

Method
 

  1. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment and set it aside. Cut the flattened chicken into slider-sized pieces.
  2. In one shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and water. In another bowl, combine flour with garlic powder, cayenne, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Place panko in a third bowl.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then coat in the seasoned flour. Return it to the egg mixture and finally coat thoroughly with panko. Arrange the coated pieces on the prepared sheet and refrigerate briefly to help the coating set.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chilled chicken pieces carefully and cook until golden brown on one side, then turn and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and crisp on the outside. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Slice the rolls horizontally and lightly toast them if desired. Spread or drizzle sauce on the bottom halves, add lettuce leaves, then place a piece of fried chicken on top. Add more sauce and cover with the top halves of the rolls.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

These sliders prove that small portions can deliver big flavor. The contrast between crispy chicken and creamy sauce wrapped in a soft roll creates a memorable bite that feels indulgent without being overly complicated to make.
Whether served for entertaining or a relaxed meal at home, they offer a reliable way to bring bold, satisfying flavors to the table.
