Ingredients
- 9-pack slider buns
- 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken
- ½ cup Frank’s Buffalo Hot Sauce
- 2 tbsp ranch dressing
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- For the Garlic Butter:
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish that fits the slider buns.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected if possible. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the Buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken.
- Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the garlic butter generously over the tops of the slider buns.
- Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5–8 minutes, until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes, then separate and serve warm with extra ranch or Buffalo sauce if desired.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option and works especially well in this recipe.
- Adjust the amount of Buffalo hot sauce to make the sliders milder or spicier.
- Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a combination of cheeses can be used.
- For softer sliders, keep them covered with foil for most of the baking time.
- For extra-crispy tops, leave the sliders uncovered for the final few minutes.
- These sliders are best served warm while the cheese is melted and the buns are soft.
