Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 lbs chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups flour
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp of each seasoning for breadcrumb mixture
• buffalo sauce

Light Spicy Mayo:

• 1 cup light mayo or low fat Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup hot sauce
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne (optional)
• salt to taste (about 1 tsp)

To Assemble:

• 8-10 slider buns
• spicy mayonnaise
• sliced pickles

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine. Portion the chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces, trimming as needed so each piece fits comfortably on a slider bun. Add the chicken to the seasoned flour and toss to coat thoroughly, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
2. In a separate bowl, crack in the eggs and add a small splash of water. Whisk well to create a smooth egg wash.
3. On a large plate or shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to distribute the spices evenly throughout the breadcrumbs.
4. Working one piece at a time, take the flour-coated chicken and dip it into the egg wash, making sure it’s fully coated. Let the excess drip off, then transfer the chicken into the seasoned panko mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken firmly, ensuring every part is evenly coated for maximum crispiness.
5. Lightly spray one side of each breaded chicken piece with cooking spray. Place the chicken into an air fryer basket, sprayed side down. Once in the basket, lightly spray the other side of the chicken.
6. Air fry at 375°F for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
7. While the chicken cooks, make a light spicy mayonnaise by mixing light mayo with a splash of water and a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce. Stir until smooth and spreadable.
8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the air fryer and immediately submerge or brush generously with buffalo sauce until fully coated.
9. To assemble the sliders, spread the bottom half of each slider bun with the spicy mayonnaise, top with a piece of the saucy chicken, then add sliced pickles. Cap with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy!
