Building Your Sliders
- Get Those Chicken Cutlets Ready
- Quickly fry thin chicken pieces in hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy. Put them on paper towels to soak up extra oil.
- Whip Up Bang Bang Sauce
- Mix mayo, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and honey until it's all combined. Make it as mild or spicy as you want.
- Stack Everything Together
- Put a crunchy chicken piece on each little bun, add some mozzarella on top, and drizzle that tasty bang bang sauce over everything.
- Time to Eat
- Grab them while they're hot or let everyone add their own sauce. They taste best warm and messy!
Air Fryer Wonder
When I'm feeling like something lighter, my air fryer comes to the rescue. The chicken still turns out amazingly crispy and it's way simpler than regular frying. Just watch your cooking time depending on how thick your chicken is.
Host Like a Pro
Need to save time when having friends over? I usually fix the chicken and sauce beforehand. Keep your chicken warm in a low-temp oven and the sauce in the fridge until it's time to put everything together. This way you can hang out with your guests instead of cooking all night!
Crowd Pleasers Always
These little sandwiches are my go-to for any get-together. Sports night, casual supper, or big celebration - they always hit the spot. They're fun finger food that both grown-ups and kids go crazy for!
Switch Things Up
Feel free to try new stuff! Sometimes I swap in different cheese types or add more heat to the sauce. Putting out extras like pickles, lettuce and more sauce lets everyone build their dream slider just how they like it.

Standout Features
What really makes these sliders stand out is how everything works together. The crunchy chicken with that melty cheese and our special sauce creates something you'll dream about. It's like bringing your favorite restaurant treat right into your kitchen!
Crispy Chicken Secrets
Want to know my trick for super crispy chicken? Keep your oil steady at 350°F. I always use a thermometer to check and stick with canola or vegetable oil. The thin chicken pieces are crucial - they cook fast and turn out perfect every single time.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
- You bet. The cooked chicken pieces can stay warm in a 325°F oven for up to an hour before you serve them. You can also stick them in the fridge and warm them up later. For the bang bang sauce, make it early and let it sit out about 30 minutes before you need it.
- → What can I substitute for buttermilk?
- Just stir 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into 1 cup of regular milk and wait 5 minutes. This DIY buttermilk works great to soften the chicken and give you that nice crunchy outside.
- → How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
- The chicken should hit 165°F if you check it with a meat thermometer. Don't have one? Just cut into the thickest part and make sure it's not pink anywhere inside.
- → Can I bake these instead of frying?
- Sure thing. Put your breaded chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet and cook at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, turning them over halfway. Spray them with some cooking oil first so they'll brown up nicely.
- → How do I keep the chicken crispy while making multiple batches?
- After frying, put the chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the rest. This keeps everything warm and crunchy instead of getting soggy on paper towels.
