Ingredients
Scale
For the Sliders:
- 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (for drizzling)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Optional Toppings:
- Lettuce
- Sliced pickles
- Thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until fully coated.
- Assemble the Sliders:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom halves. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken.
- Place the top halves of the buns on top.
- Bake the Sliders:
- Brush the melted butter over the tops of the slider buns and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the sliders or serve on the side for dipping.
- Add optional toppings like lettuce, pickles, or red onion for extra crunch.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try mixing a bit of ranch dressing into the buffalo sauce before coating the chicken.
- These sliders can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
