# Steps:
01 -
Evenly season thin-sliced chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
02 -
Arrange three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with cornstarch, and one with panko bread crumbs.
03 -
Whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg in a separate bowl until smooth and fully combined.
04 -
Dredge seasoned chicken pieces in flour, shake off excess, dip into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
05 -
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (350°F). Fry breaded chicken in batches, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
06 -
Place fried chicken on bottom halves of slider rolls, top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese, drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce, and cover with the top bun.
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust bang bang sauce or hot sauce amounts to achieve preferred heat level.
02 -
For a lighter version, bake breaded chicken breasts at 400°F on a wire rack for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
