Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha
- 8 brioche slider buns
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, and sriracha to make the Bang Bang sauce.
- Pat chicken dry and dredge in the seasoned flour mix, pressing to coat. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Fry chicken in batches for 6–7 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss shredded cabbage and carrots with vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt to make the slaw.
- Toss fried chicken in half of the Bang Bang sauce, reserving the rest for drizzling or dipping.
- Toast slider buns. Add slaw to bottom bun, top with chicken, drizzle with extra sauce, and finish with the top bun. Serve warm.
Notes
- Double coat the chicken for an extra crunchy crust.
- Let the dredged chicken rest before frying for better coating adhesion.
- Adjust the heat level of the sauce by adding more or less sriracha.
- Toast buns to keep them from going soggy.
- Slaw and sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
