Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken – Cook the chicken by poaching, baking, or using an Instant Pot until tender and easily shreddable. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

- Step 3: Combine Chicken and Sauce – Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the shredded chicken and toss until well coated.
- Step 4: Prepare Your Buns – Slice the slider buns horizontally while still connected. Optionally, toast the cut sides on a griddle or under the broiler.
- Step 5: Assemble Your Bang Bang Chicken Sliders – Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on each bottom bun, add coleslaw, sprinkle with cilantro and green onions, and top with the bun halves. Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds before toasting until golden.
- Step 6: Serve Immediately – Enjoy the sliders fresh while the buns are soft and the filling is warm.
