  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sliders

Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Cheese & Dressing Mix

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Slider Assembly

  • 2 Tbsp. melted butter
  • 4 slider buns
  • chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F to prepare it for baking the sliders.
  2. Melt Butter & Cook Chicken: In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and toss it in the melted butter to coat evenly.
  3. Add Buffalo Sauce & Seasoning: Pour in the buffalo sauce and toss again to coat the chicken thoroughly. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper to your taste, stirring to combine all flavors.
  4. Prepare Cheese & Ranch Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese with ranch dressing. Mix using a fork until the cheese is well coated, making it easy to spoon onto the sliders.
  5. Assemble Sliders: Place about 1/4 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each slider bun. Top each with 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese and ranch mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, then place the top bun on each slider.
  6. Butter the Buns: Brush the melted butter onto the tops of each slider bun to add flavor and help them brown in the oven.
  7. Bake: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are slightly toasted.
  8. Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve hot for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe to serve a larger crowd.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor, but cooked shredded chicken breast works as well.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to increase or decrease the heat level.
  • Serve with extra ranch dressing or celery sticks for a classic buffalo chicken experience.
