Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Sliders

  • 1.5 pounds ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls, split
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • Pickle slices, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and form the mixture into 12 equal small patties, about 2 inches wide.
  2. Bake the Chicken Patties: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the patties evenly spaced on it. Lightly brush the tops of each patty with a little oil to help crisping. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While the patties are baking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  4. Toast the Rolls: Brush the split Kings Hawaiian rolls with melted butter and toast on a griddle or skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute per side until golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: On the bottom half of each toasted roll, layer shredded lettuce, one chicken patty, a generous drizzle of bang bang sauce, sliced red onion, and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the roll and gently press to combine.

Notes

  • For firmer patties, chill them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before baking.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity in the sauce to control the heat—reduce for milder or increase for spicier sliders.
  • To enhance crispiness, broil patties for 1-2 minutes after baking.
  • Make ahead by preparing patties in the morning and bake just before serving.
  • Reheat leftover sliders in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to restore warmth without sogginess.
  • Substitute ground turkey for a lighter version or add cheese slices under the patties for a cheesy twist.
  • For gluten-free options, use gluten-free panko and buns.
  • Store assembled sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bang bang sauce keeps for up to 1 week when refrigerated.
