Description
Buffalo Chicken Sliders are spicy, cheesy mini sandwiches filled with shredded chicken tossed in tangy buffalo sauce, layered with melted cheese, and baked on soft slider rolls. Perfect for parties, game days, or a quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: crumbled blue cheese, green onions, extra buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line with foil.
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and dressing.
- Slice slider buns horizontally (keeping tops and bottoms connected), and place the bottom halves in the prepared dish.
- Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the bottom buns.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken, then place the top halves of the buns on top.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the tops of the buns.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5–7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
- Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use pepper jack cheese for extra spice.
- Add pickles or coleslaw after baking for crunch.
- Drizzle more buffalo sauce for added heat.
- Swap in BBQ sauce for a milder flavor.
- Make ahead and bake when ready to serve.
