- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

- 1 tsp rice vinegar
For the Sliders:

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the egg. Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dredge the chicken pieces first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the chicken pieces in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Sliders:
- Toss the crispy chicken pieces in the Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
- Place a few pieces of the saucy chicken on the bottom half of each slider bun.
- Top with shredded lettuce and pickles (if desired).
- Place the top bun on and gently press down to hold everything together.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides or enjoy on their own!
Tips
- For a healthier version, bake the chicken pieces in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
- Add some extra heat by increasing the amount of sriracha or adding a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce.
- For a crunchy texture, add a few slices of red onion or shredded carrots as a topping.
