Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns hawaiian rolls or other slider buns
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken meat
- ⅔ cup hot sauce
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If you use foil, spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until all the chicken is evenly coated. You can also mix the ranch and hot sauce in a separate bowl and then pour over the chicken if you feel like it won’t mix well.
- If they are not already done, slice the slider rolls in half into tops and bottoms. Place the bottoms on the baking sheet.
- Evenly divide the chicken mixture onto the slider bottoms. Spread to the edges of each of the buns.
- Top with the shredded cheese and add the top of the slider buns.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and Italian seasoning. Brush over the tops of the slider buns.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is hot and bubbly.
- Uncover and bake for another 3-5 minutes until the tops get a slightly golden brown.
- Remove and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot!
Notes
- Mix hot sauce and ranch together before adding to chicken. That way the sauce is completely combined and evenly coats everything.
- Pull slider buns apart before assembling. This makes serving easier and prevents tearing hot, messy sliders apart later. You won't have to cut them and you get that pretty cheese pull!
- Spray foil with nonstick spray or use parchment paper. The cheese can stick.
- Spread buffalo chicken to the edges of each bun. This ensures every bite has filling, not just the middle.
- Cover while baking first to melt the cheese, then uncover to brown the tops.
- Let sliders cool 2-3 minutes before serving. The filling is extremely hot straight from the oven.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
