Ingredients
- Shredded cooked chicken
- Buffalo sauce
- Slider buns or dinner rolls
- Shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- Ranch dressing
- Butter
- Garlic powder
- Dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the slider buns.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Slice the slider buns horizontally and place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly across the buns and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
- Drizzle a small amount of ranch dressing over the cheese layer.
- Place the top half of the buns over the filling.
- Melt butter and brush it across the tops of the buns, then sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and parsley if desired.
- Cover with foil and bake until the cheese melts and the sliders are heated through.
- Remove the foil and bake a few minutes longer so the tops become lightly golden.
- Let the sliders rest briefly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken makes this recipe especially quick and convenient. For extra flavor, warm the buffalo sauce before mixing it with the chicken so it coats the meat evenly. If you prefer a milder taste, mix a little barbecue sauce into the buffalo sauce to soften the heat.
