Buffalo chicken sliders
These easy Buffalo Chicken Sliders are everything you love about buffalo wings, spicy, cheesy, and creamy, all tucked between soft Hawaiian rolls.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking pan (or sheet)
Ingredients
- 12 King's Hawaiian dinner rolls
- 4 cups shredded chicken (skin and bones removed)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup Frank’s RedHot buffalo sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried ranch seasoning mix
Serving suggestions
- Potato chips
- Carrot sticks
- Celery sticks
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F. Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom sections intact. Place the bottom halves on the prepared pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper. Mix until every piece of chicken is coated.
- Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle green onions on top, then add the top halves of the rolls.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl (about 10 seconds in the microwave). Stir in the ranch seasoning mix until well blended.
- Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the buns. Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 15–20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the sliders (without the butter topping), cover tightly, and refrigerate up to a day in advance. Add the butter mixture right before baking.
- For Crispier Tops: Remove the foil during the last 5–7 minutes of baking to let the rolls brown nicely.
- Feeding a Crowd: Double the recipe and use two pans—these go fast!
- For Milder Flavor: Use less buffalo sauce or mix half buffalo and half barbecue sauce for a toned-down version.
- Quick Cleanup: Line your pan with both parchment and foil to catch any melted cheese or sauce drips.
