  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adds seasoning
For the assembly
  • 12 pieces slider buns (preferably Hawaiian rolls) Soft, perfect for sliders
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix Bagged is convenient

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate your chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. Overnight is great if you can plan ahead.
  2. Mix flour, panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a big bowl.
  3. Dip the marinated chicken in the flour-panko mix, ensuring they're well coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet and fry the chicken until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Do not wander off!
Assembly
  1. Mix coleslaw with mayo, sweet chili sauce, and hot sauce, adjusting spice levels to your liking.
  2. Slice the slider buns, place a piece of cooked chicken on the bottom, top with a spoonful of slaw, sprinkle green onion, and place the top bun.
  3. Serve on a platter and enjoy as guests grab their sliders.

Notes

If you want to bake the chicken instead of frying, bake at 425°F for about 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway. They won't be quite as crispy.
