- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

- 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
- Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Coat Chicken: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts to keep them moist while baking.
- Season Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts for a flavorful crust.
- Bake Chicken: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Make Bang Bang Sauce: While the chicken bakes, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and fully blended.
- Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Shred Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss Chicken with Sauce: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the bang bang sauce until well coated.
- Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally to create tops and bottoms.
- Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom half of each bun on a platter, spoon a generous amount of the saucy chicken onto each, then top with chopped green onions, cilantro leaves, and shredded carrots for crunch and freshness.
- Serve: Finish by placing the top halves of the buns over the fillings and serve the sliders immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- For extra heat, add more sriracha to the bang bang sauce.
- Slider buns can be lightly toasted for added texture.
- Leftover bang bang sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
