Warm, tangy, and delicious sliders filled with shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce and melty cheese, perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 slider buns (bottoms and tops separated)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked breast)
  • ½ cup Frank’s buffalo hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (for filling)
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (for brushing)
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy lifting and cleanup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning or heat.
  3. Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken. Place the top halves of the buns on top of the cheese.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 15 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and filling to warm through.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t over-brown.
  8. Let the sliders rest for 2 minutes, then cut apart and serve immediately.

Notes

For a loaded spread, serve alongside a buffalo chicken dip for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
