12 slider buns

# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Trim up those fried chicken pieces so they fit the buns. Drop a cheesy slice of mozzarella on top, then spoon on as much bang bang sauce as you want. Set 'em on the buns and dig in right away.
02 -
Heat your oil to 175°C in a big skillet or fryer. Fry a few breaded chicken pieces at a time so you don’t crowd the pan. Let them bubble and get golden. When they’re cooked through, lay them on paper towels.
03 -
Grab your seasoned chicken, dunk it in the flour-cornstarch combo first, then into the buttermilk-hot sauce-egg bowl, and finally press it good into the panko until every bit is covered.
04 -
Use three shallow bowls: put flour with cornstarch in one, whisk egg and hot sauce with buttermilk in another, and toss panko in the last one.
05 -
Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides of those chicken slices. Make sure they’re seasoned well all over.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
You can stick your fried chicken in a 165°C oven to keep it toasty for an hour if needed.
02 -
Let your sauce hang out at room temp for top-notch flavor and texture.
03 -
Feel free to fry chicken ahead of time and pop it in the oven to warm up when you need it.
