Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- ¾ cup buffalo sauce
- 7 tablespoons butter, divided (3 tablespoons + 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: Set your oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Prepare the rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them together as one slab. Place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the buffalo chicken: In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and stir in ¾ cup of buffalo sauce until well combined. Add the shredded chicken, mixing until it’s evenly coated.
- Assemble the sliders: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Sprinkle with mozzarella, cheddar, and blue cheese crumbles. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- Add the butter topping: Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in the ranch seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. If the tops start to brown too quickly, cover with foil.
- Serve: Slice the rolls apart and serve warm.
Notes
-
- Serve Immediately: These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are best served warm right out of the oven when the cheese is perfectly melted and the rolls are golden and crisp.
- Party Serving Idea: Arrange the sliders on a large platter and serve with small bowls of ranch and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Side Dishes: Pair with celery sticks, carrot sticks, coleslaw, or crispy fries to balance the spice.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the sliders (without baking) and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Brush with butter topping right before baking.
- Reheat: Reheat leftovers in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5–8 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to keep the rolls from getting soggy.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the assembled (unbaked) sliders for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in foil and bake directly from frozen for 20–25 minutes.
