Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls work well)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
  3. Slice the package of slider rolls horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected in their original formation. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
  6. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing and poppy seeds (if using). Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the slider buns.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are lightly golden brown.
  11. Slice the sliders apart between the rolls and serve immediately as a great party food idea.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken for faster prep time.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter mixed with a dash of Worcestershire sauce before adding the poppy seeds.
  • If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce slightly or add a tablespoon of melted butter to the chicken mixture.
