Bang Bang Sliders (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon of hot sauce.
02 -
1 cup of buttermilk.
03 -
12 soft slider rolls.
04 -
12 slices of mozzarella cheese.
05 -
1 large egg.
06 -
Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning.
07 -
1/4 cup of cornstarch.
08 -
2 cups (or more if needed) of Panko breadcrumbs.
09 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
10 -
Thinly sliced chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds.
11 -
Vegetable or canola oil for frying.
# Instructions:
01 -
Sprinkle chicken on both sides with garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt.
02 -
In one bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. In a separate bowl, stir flour with cornstarch. Place breadcrumbs in another bowl.
03 -
Dip chicken into flour mixture first, then into the buttermilk blend, and lastly cover with breadcrumbs, pressing them in to make sure they stick.
04 -
Warm up oil in a large pan over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Do this in batches so the pan isn’t overcrowded.
05 -
Combine bang bang sauce in a small bowl with a whisk, then put it aside for later.
06 -
Slice chicken to match slider rolls. Place chicken on buns, add mozzarella on top while the chicken is still warm, and pour bang bang sauce over everything.
# Notes:
01 -
To keep warm, place in a 325°F oven for up to an hour.
02 -
Before serving, let bang bang sauce come up to room temperature.
03 -
Cut into the chicken to ensure it's fully cooked—no pink should remain.
