Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Sliders

• King’s Hawaiian Rolls: These sweet, soft rolls are perfect for sliders. Substitute with brioche slider buns or dinner rolls if needed.
• Shredded Rotisserie Chicken: Makes this recipe super quick and flavorful. You can also use any leftover cooked chicken.
• Buffalo Sauce: Brings the classic spicy kick. Use your favorite brand, or adjust the amount for milder sliders.
• Ranch Dressing (or Blue Cheese Dressing): Adds creaminess and cools the heat. Blue cheese dressing is great for a more tangy flavor.
• Pepper Jack Cheese: Melts beautifully and adds a little extra spice. Mozzarella, cheddar, or Colby Jack are good alternatives.
• Butter: Brushed on top to add golden color and flavor while baking.
• Fresh Chopped Cilantro: Adds a fresh pop of flavor. You can leave it out or substitute with chopped parsley.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Prep the Rolls: Heat oven to 350°F. Slice the rolls in half horizontally to create two slabs. Place the bottom half on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.

Make the Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing until evenly coated.

Assemble the Sliders: Sprinkle 2/3 of the shredded cheese over the bottom slab of rolls. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly on top.

Then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Place the top slab of rolls over the filling.

Add Topping: Mix the melted butter with chopped cilantro and brush over the top rolls.

Bake the Sliders: Bake uncovered for 5 minutes, then cover with foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted. Slice and serve warm!

Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Sliders

• Toasting the bottom buns helps prevent sogginess from the sauce and chicken.
• For extra crispy tops, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
• Easily double the recipe for a larger crowd using a 9×13 baking dish.

Make-Ahead Instructions

• Prepare the individual components up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate.
• Assemble the sliders when you’re ready to bake.
• Plan to add an extra 3–5 minutes to the cook time.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating Buffalo Chicken Sliders

• Reheat in a 350 degree oven, covered with foil, for 10–15 minutes or until hot.
• For crispier tops, remove the foil for the last few minutes.
