Method
 

  1. Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Dip chicken into beaten eggs, then coat with flour-breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Fry chicken in hot oil (350°F/175°C) until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey to make bang bang sauce.
  6. Toast slider buns lightly. Assemble with lettuce, crispy chicken, and drizzle with sauce.
  7. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
