Notes
- You can adjust the sriracha amount to control the heat level of the bang bang sauce.
- If preferred, substitute slider buns with regular small buns or dinner rolls.
- Leftover sliders can be refrigerated and eaten within 2 days but are best served fresh.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches safe internal temperature for food safety.
- For added crunch, consider adding thinly sliced cucumbers or pickled jalapeños as garnish.
