tips to make Bang Bang Chicken Sliders
- Make sure to coat the chicken well in the panko for a super crispy texture.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of Bang Bang sauce based on your spice preference.
variation
For a healthier twist, you can grill the chicken instead of baking it. You can also use cauliflower instead of chicken for a vegetarian option. Just bread and bake the cauliflower florets the same way as the chicken and toss them in the Bang Bang sauce.
