Ingredients
Slider Assembly
- 12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls or soft buns
- 3 cups (420 g) shredded cooked chicken rotisserie or leftover
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Buffalo sauce such as Frank’s RedHot; adjust to taste
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) ranch dressing
- 1 cup (110 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (55 g) shredded cheddar cheese optional
Topping
- 3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp (2 g) garlic powder
- chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Mixing bowl
- small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
- basting brush
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until well combined and evenly coated.
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally (keep the top and bottom halves attached if possible). Place the bottom half of the buns into the baking dish.
- Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the buns. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese (if using) evenly on top of the chicken.
- Place the top half of the buns over the cheese-covered chicken layer.
- Melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder. Brush the tops of the buns generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and buns are golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm!
Notes
For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne to the filling. Leftover sliders store well in the fridge (3–4 days) or freezer (up to 2 months) and reheat best in the oven. Swap ranch for blue cheese, or use pulled jackfruit for a vegetarian option. Customize the cheeses, sauces, or garnishes as you like!
