Description
Looking for the perfect Buffalo Chicken Sliders recipe for game day, parties, or an easy weeknight dinner? These cheesy, flavor-packed sliders are loaded with tender shredded chicken, creamy ranch, and bold spicy buffalo sauce, all layered onto soft Hawaiian rolls and baked until warm, melty, and golden brown. Whether you’re using cooked chicken breasts, rotisserie chicken, or even leftover chicken, this simple recipe comes together with minimal prep and big flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls
- 7.5-ounce package sliced pepperjack cheese
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (I like Kinders Buttery Buffalo sauce)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing, plus extra for dipping
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and salt to a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet or 9×13-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Without separating the rolls, cut the tops off using a serrated knife and set the tops aside.
- Arrange half of the cheese slices on top of the bottom section of the rolls and place them in the preheated oven for 6 minutes or until the cheese melts.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls and top with the remaining slices of cheese.
- Place the top layer of rolls on top of the sliders and brush the melted butter over the top.
- Combine the garlic powder and mustard powder in a small bowl and sprinkle them evenly over the sliders.
- Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and all the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve the sliders with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Notes
Want to change things up? Try these ideas:
- Add diced or sliced jalapeños into the shredded chicken for more heat
- Sprinkle on green onions after baking
- Swap Ranch for creamy blue cheese dressing
- Add blue cheese crumbles for extra tangy flavor
- Use mozzarella cheese or Monterey Jack cheese for a milder option.
- Pre-cooked or leftover chicken breasts work well for this recipe. You can cook them in a slow cooker for a hands-off approach. Just add the chicken with a little bit of broth and let it cook low and slow until it easily pulls apart. Once cooked, use two forks to shred chicken into tender pieces. You can also easily shred pre-cooked chicken with the paddle attachment of a stand mixer.
- Rotisserie chicken is also a great option – grab a whole one at the grocery store, or you can even buy pre-pulled chicken to save even more time.
