Instructions
1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
3. In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, coat each piece in the flour mixture, then fry in hot oil (about 350°F/175°C) in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
4. Toast the slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, add the fried chicken, then top with lettuce, red onion, and pickles. Garnish with cilantro if desired, then cover with the top bun.
