Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 12 slider buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional toppings: Pickles, shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken dredge: In one shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
  2. Dredge the chicken: Dip each chicken piece first into the buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  3. Fry the chicken: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and place on a wire rack to drain.
  4. Make the garlic sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and parsley. Mix well until smooth.
  5. Assemble the sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of garlic sauce on both halves of each bun. Place 3 to 4 pieces of crispy chicken on the bottom bun. Add pickles or lettuce if using, then top with the bun crown.

Notes

  • For air frying, spray the dredged chicken lightly with cooking spray and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.
  • You can prepare the garlic sauce up to one day ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Use small brioche or potato slider buns for the best texture.
