Buffalo Chicken Sliders
A tasty twist on traditional Buffalo chicken, these mini sandwiches feature spicy buffalo sauce and creamy ranch dressing, perfect for parties or simple weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
For the sliders
- 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls (12 rolls)
- 3 cups cooked and shredded boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup Frank's Buffalo Sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 stalks green onion (diced)
- 1 large carrot (shredded)
- 1 stalk celery (diced)
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- Blue cheese crumbles (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation and Assembly
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the package of Hawaiian sweet rolls in half, so you have a top and bottom piece. Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, green onion, carrot, and celery. Mix well, then spread the mixture evenly over the bottom buns in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle some of the shredded white cheddar cheese on top, then place the top half of the buns over everything.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter. Mix in the dried onion flakes and garlic powder. Use a basting brush to spread the butter mixture over the top of the buns.
Baking
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the sliders are hot, the cheese is melted, and the tops of the buns are golden.
Serving
- Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and additional green onion if desired. Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.
Notes
You can use rotisserie chicken to save time. Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less Buffalo sauce. Try adding other toppings like jalapeños for added heat or pickles for some crunch! For a lighter version, substitute shredded chicken with shredded turkey or use a meat alternative for a vegetarian option.
