Ingredients
- 680 grams thinly sliced chicken breasts
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 65 grams all-purpose flour
- 32 grams cornstarch
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 15 milliliters hot sauce
- 1 large egg
- 120 grams panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- 12 slider rolls
- Bang Bang sauce, prepared separately
Instructions
- Evenly season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Prepare three bowls: In the first bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. In the second bowl, whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Take each seasoned chicken piece, coat it in the flour mixture, dip it into the buttermilk mixture, and then dredge it thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing it to stick. Repeat this for all the chicken pieces.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Add more oil as needed. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While frying, prepare the Bang Bang sauce and set it aside.
- Slice the fried chicken cutlets into smaller pieces to fit the rolls. Place the chicken on the bottom buns, add a slice of mozzarella cheese while hot, drizzle Bang Bang sauce on top, and close with the upper buns.
- Serve the sliders immediately while the chicken is hot and the cheese is melting for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your spice preference.
