These Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders are the ultimate crowd-pleasing comfort food. Soft, fluffy slider buns are stuffed with juicy shredded chicken tossed in tangy Frank’s buffalo sauce, creamy ranch, and melty cheese, then baked with a buttery garlic topping until golden and irresistible. Perfect for game day, parties, or a quick family dinner, these sliders come together fast and disappear even faster.
1 pack slider buns (9 buns)
1½ cups shredded cooked chicken
½ cup Frank’s Buffalo Hot Sauce
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Chicken Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until evenly coated.
Assemble the Sliders
Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared dish. Evenly divide the buffalo chicken mixture over the buns. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then place the top buns over the filling.
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over the tops of the buns.
Bake
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Serve
Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately while hot.
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
Adjust the heat level by adding more or less buffalo sauce.
Cheese matters: Mozzarella melts beautifully, while cheddar adds sharper flavor.
Serve fresh: These sliders are best enjoyed straight from the oven while warm and gooey.
Extra crunch: Add thinly sliced red onions or pickles inside the sliders before baking.
