You’ll need:

• 7 tablespoons butter, divided into 3 tablespoons and 4 tablespoons
• ¾ cup buffalo sauce
• 3 cups shredded chicken
• 1 package of Hawaiian Rolls
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2½ tablespoons ranch seasoning (from a ranch dressing seasoning packet)

How To Make This Buffalo Chicken Sliders Recipe

STEP ONE: Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

STEP TWO: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter with ¾ cup buffalo sauce. Stir to combine the sauce and butter.

STEP THREE: Add the chicken to the sauce and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.

STEP FOUR: Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half and place the bottom half on the baking sheet. Keep them together as a slab, do not break them into individual rolls. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Then top with mozzarella, cheddar, and blue cheese. Place the top half of the rolls on top.

STEP FIVE: Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in the ranch seasoning, then brush the melted butter mixture over the top of the rolls. 

STEP SIX: Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted. You can cover them with foil if the tops of the rolls are browning too quickly.

STEP SEVEN: Cut rolls apart and serve warm.

How To Serve

These spicy chicken sliders are a go-to for me. Served warm with coleslaw or macaroni salad, it’s the perfect option for me to prepare for an easy meal.

They also are excellent as a tasty game-day appetizer. This recipe goes great on a party table paired with our Hawaiian macaroni salad and seven-layer dip.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 cups chicken, shredded
• ¾ cup buffalo sauce
• 7 tablespoons butter, divided into 3 tablespoons and 4 tablespoons
• 1 package Hawaiian Rolls
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2½ tablespoons ranch seasoning (from a ranch dressing seasoning packet)

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and place the bottom half on the baking sheet. Keep them together as a slab, do not break into individual rolls.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter with ¾ cup buffalo sauce. Stir to combine the sauce and butter.
• Add the chicken to the sauce and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
• Spread the chicken evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with mozzarella, cheddar, and blue cheese.
• Place the top half of the rolls on top.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in ranch seasoning. Brush over the top of the rolls
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted. You can cover with foil if the top of the rolls are browning too quickly.
• Cut rolls apart and serve warm.

Notes

• Sometimes grocery stores only have the 12-pack of rolls, so you can buy 2 packages depending on the size of your dish and use as many as you need to fill it.
• Don’t skimp on the butter. It soaks into all the nooks and crannies and adds a ton of flavor to both the top and the bottom half of the slider buns.
• Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your sliders at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
