Chicken Buns (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 12 small buns.
02 - 12 slices of mozzarella cheese.
03 - About 2 cups of Panko crumbs (you might need more).
04 - 1 large egg.
05 - 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce.
06 - 1 cup of buttermilk.
07 - 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
08 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
09 - Seasoning: kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
10 - 1 1/2 pounds of thin chicken breasts.
11 - Canola or vegetable oil for frying.

# Instructions:

01 - Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides of the chicken breasts.
02 - Set up three bowls: one with mixed flour and cornstarch, one with whisked buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce, and one with Panko crumbs.
03 - Coat the chicken first in the flour mix, next in the buttermilk mixture, and then press it into the breadcrumbs.
04 - Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Cook each piece 2-3 minutes per side until they reach 165°F inside. Fry in batches so they don’t overcrowd.
05 - Mix up the bang bang sauce in a little bowl and leave it to the side.
06 - Warm the bread with mozzarella on top of the chicken, drizzle the sauce over, and put them on slider rolls.

# Notes:

01 - Keep warm in a 325°F oven for about an hour if needed.
02 - The bang bang sauce should be at room temp before serving.
03 - Cutlets are ready when the center is no longer pink.
