Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice preference)

6 slider buns

Lettuce leaves (for garnish)

Tomato slices (optional)

Pickles (optional)

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

    Prep Breading Station: In one shallow dish, place the flour mixed with a little salt and pepper. In another dish, place the Panko breadcrumbs.

      Bread the Chicken: Remove chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each thigh in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip back into the buttermilk before coating with Panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere well.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot (around 350°F), add the breaded chicken thighs. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Drain on paper towels.

          Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust sriracha based on your preferred heat level.

            Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Spread a generous amount of Bang Bang Sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a fried chicken thigh on each bun, top with lettuce, and add tomato slices and pickles if desired. Drizzle more Bang Bang Sauce on top before placing the bun lid.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for extra flavor. Serve immediately with some extra Bang Bang Sauce on the side for dipping.
