Description

These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are a perfect game day or party snack featuring tender shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in spicy buffalo sauce and creamy ranch dressing, layered with melted cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on soft King’s Hawaiian rolls. Baked until golden and bubbly, they offer a delicious combination of spicy, tangy, and cheesy flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Slider Assembly

  • 1 package King’s Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (remaining half)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (remaining half)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder. Set this aside to brush on the slider tops later.
  3. Mix chicken filling: In a separate bowl, mix shredded rotisserie chicken with ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Prepare rolls: Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a greased 9×13 baking dish to form a base layer.
  5. Add chicken mixture: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
  6. Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken layer for extra cheesiness.
  7. Assemble sliders: Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese layer to complete the sandwich assembly.
  8. Brush with butter mixture: Brush the tops of the slider buns generously with the melted butter and garlic mixture for flavor and browning.
  9. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and crispy.
  11. Serve: Remove from the oven, slice between the rolls to separate the sliders, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with freshly cooked shredded chicken if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your spice tolerance for milder or spicier sliders.
  • King’s Hawaiian rolls provide a sweet contrast; alternatively, use your favorite slider rolls.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
