Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Assembly
- 8 slider buns, sliced in half
- 1 cup cabbage slaw (finely shredded cabbage)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts by poaching, grilling, or pan-frying until fully cooked and juicy. Let cool slightly, then shred or slice into bite-sized pieces for easy slider assembly.
- Mix the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and well blended, balancing spicy and sweet flavors.
- Toss Chicken With Sauce: Generously coat the shredded chicken in the prepared bang bang sauce. Make sure all pieces are evenly covered for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Layer the bottom bun with a portion of cabbage slaw to add crunch and freshness. Top with the saucy chicken, sprinkle with chopped green onions, then place the top bun to complete the slider.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Sliders immediately while chicken is flavorful and fresh. Optionally, add pickle slices or extra sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use fresh cabbage and green onions for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust honey and sriracha to customize the sauce sweetness and spiciness.
- Lightly toast slider buns to keep them soft yet prevent sogginess.
- Shred chicken evenly using two forks for easier eating.
- Refrigerate sauce and chicken if not serving immediately to maintain freshness and safety.
