Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 9 pack slider buns
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 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 (cheddar or your choice)

Garlic Butter

  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking sheet or casserole dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Frank’s buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly divide the buffalo chicken mixture on each bottom bun, spreading it out. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken, then cover with the top bun halves.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Using a pastry brush, generously brush this garlic butter mixture over the tops of the slider buns for extra flavor and to aid browning.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to heat through and soften the buns.
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted and the tops of the buns are lightly golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then cut sliders apart and serve immediately with your favorite sides while still warm and gooey.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use a hotter hot sauce.
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken makes this recipe quick and easy.
  • Try different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for a unique taste.
  • Sliders can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dip to complement the buffalo flavor.
