Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts Pat dry before seasoning for crispier results
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise Or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha Adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 8 slider buns Whole wheat or gluten-free both work well
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato Sliced
  • 0.5 cup pickled vegetables Optional topping
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro or green onions Optional topping
  • 1 medium avocado Sliced, optional topping

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet without overlapping.
  2. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the chicken bakes, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl. Let the Bang Bang sauce rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  4. Slice or chop rested chicken into slider-sized pieces. Layer each slider bun with chicken, a generous drizzle of Bang Bang sauce, fresh lettuce, and sliced tomato. Add optional toppings as desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Make the Bang Bang sauce up to 24 hours ahead for even deeper flavor. Chicken can be cooked a day in advance and reheated at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes. Store sauce and toppings separately from assembled sliders for best texture.
