Chicken: Place the chicken breasts, grated garlic and buttermilk in a plastic bag and marinate overnight.

Naan: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Form a well and pour the yogurt and oil into the center and mix together. Add the water if it is too dry.
Next, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
Form 12 balls from the dough and roll them, one at a time before cooking.
Place a small amount of melted butter in a medium sized sauté pan on medium low heat and add in a rolled out naan dough, cover with a lid and cook until bubbles begin to form. Next, flip the naan bread over and sprinkle on a little bit of cheese and green onions, and cover and cook for 1 minute. Remove and set aside on a towel.
Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper and set aside.
