Ingredients

Scale

Slider Sandwich

  • 9 pack slider buns
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo hot sauce
  • 2 Tbsp ranch dressing
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Garlic Butter

  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking sheet or casserole dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Frank’s buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken with the flavorful sauce and seasonings.
  3. Assemble Sliders: Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken mixture over each bun bottom, ensuring each slider is well filled. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken, then place the top halves of the buns to close the sliders.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning until well combined. Use a pastry brush to generously brush the tops of the slider buns with the garlic butter mixture for added flavor and a beautiful golden finish.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This helps the sliders heat through and the flavors meld while keeping the buns soft.
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake the sliders for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cheese has melted completely.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and cut if desired. Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by your favorite sides such as celery sticks, carrot sticks, or extra ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • Use cooked, shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Feel free to substitute Frank’s buffalo sauce with another hot wing sauce according to your taste preference.
  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
  • Sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated wrapped in foil to retain moisture.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free option, use vegan cheese and skip the ranch or use a dairy-free alternative.
