Jimmy’s Bang Bang Chicken Sliders
I simmer chicken thighs in a spicy-sweet sauce, shred them and then pile 'em high on pretzel buns to create an incredibly addictive party food. —James Schend, Food Editor <I>Taste of Home</I>

Reviews
Easy to make and insanely delicious, I had a hard time eating just two of these sliders. I especially love the spicy sauce.
SO good!
A little spicy for my taste. But added sour cream to the sauce - great!
It was delicious! Just put it on regular hamburger buns since that's what I had. Will definitely make it again.
