Ingredients

Scale

For the Sliders

  • 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)

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Make the Garlic Butter
    In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over the tops of the buns.

  5. 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.

  6. Serve
    Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • 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.
