Ingredients
For the sliders
- 12 pieces slider rolls, connected as a sheet (Hawaiian rolls or brioche recommended.)
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (Packed but not dense.)
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce (Adjust to taste.)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (For brushing on top.)
- 1 tablespoon honey (Optional for balance.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 – 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded cheddar (Choose based on preference.)
- 2 pieces green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (For topping.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Stir in half the cheese and some sliced green onions, ensuring the mixture is juicy but not soupy.
Assembling and Baking
- Slice the connected slider rolls horizontally to create a top and a bottom slab. Place the bottom slab on the sheet pan.
- Spread the Buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer and sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
- Place the top slab on and mix melted butter with a splash of Buffalo sauce to brush over the tops. Sprinkle sesame seeds or everything seasoning.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops are golden. For extra toastiness, broil for 30 to 60 seconds, watching closely.
- Let the sliders rest for 3 to 5 minutes, slice along the lines, and serve. Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing before serving if desired.
Notes
For meal prep, assemble sliders a day in advance without the butter topping, wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate. Bake on the day you wish to serve, adding a couple of extra minutes if they are cold. Extra toppings and variations can include bacon, barbecue sauce, or additional vegetables.
