Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Cook or Shred Chicken: Use shredded rotisserie chicken or cook chicken breasts by baking, grilling, or boiling until fully cooked. Shred with two forks.
- Toss with Buffalo Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Assemble the Sliders
- Slice Slider Buns: Slice the buns horizontally and place the bottom halves in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Filling: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the buns.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken.
- Optional Toppings: Add ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery slices, or pickles, if desired.
- Top with Buns: Place the top halves of the buns over the chicken and cheese layer.
Bake the Sliders
- Brush with Butter: Mix melted butter with garlic powder (optional) and brush over the tops of the buns.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes to heat through.
- Melt Cheese: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2–5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the buns are golden.
Serve and Enjoy
- Garnish: Sprinkle with extra celery slices, parsley, or a drizzle of buffalo sauce for presentation.
- Serve Warm: Serve immediately with sides like fries, onion rings, or coleslaw.
