Buffalo Chicken Sliders

These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are the ultimate spicy, cheesy, and buttery bite-sized sandwiches—perfect for parties, casual dinners, or easy weekend snacks.

Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

  • cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce such as Frank’s RedHot
  • ¾ cup ranch dressing
  • cups freshly grated mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese

For the Sliders:

  • 1 pack 12 count Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 3½ cups of shredded rotisserie chicken with ½ cup buffalo sauce and ¾ cup ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the spicy-creamy mixture.
  • Without separating the individual rolls, slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. This helps keep everything intact and easier to assemble.
  • Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly across the bottom layer. Sprinkle 1½ cups of freshly grated cheese over the chicken. Gently place the top half of the rolls back on.
  • In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp melted butter with ½ tsp garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. This allows the filling to heat through and the cheese to melt.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5–7 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Allow the sliders to rest for 5 minutes before cutting. This keeps the filling from spilling out and makes for a much cleaner presentation.
