Ingredients
Scale
Slider Buns
- 9 pack slider buns
Chicken Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Buffalo hot sauce
- 2 Tbsp ranch dressing
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the 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 and the chicken is well-coated with the spicy sauce.
- Assemble the sliders: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
- Layer the filling: Evenly distribute the Buffalo chicken mixture over the bottom halves of the slider buns. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the chicken for a melty topping.
- Bake the sliders: Place the prepared sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sliders are heated through.
- Finish and serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and place the top buns on each slider. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- You can substitute ranch with blue cheese dressing for an authentic Buffalo flavor.
- Try adding sliced celery or pickles inside the sliders for added crunch and freshness.
- The sliders can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
