How to Make Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Here is a brief overview of how these Buffalo chicken sliders come together. Be sure to scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full recipe, including all ingredients and their measurements.

Step 1: Cut the Rolls

Cut the slider rolls in half by placing your hand on top of the rolls and gently, using a serrated knife, cutting them in half to remove the tops from the bottoms.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, green onions, and garlic. Once well mixed, spread the chicken mixture on top of the first layer of shredded cheese.

Step 3: Put the Sliders Together

Put the bottom of the sliders into a prepared baking dish. Top with half of the shredded cheese. Then add the chicken mixture. Add the remaining cheese. Then top with the top of the slider buns and finally pour over a mixture of butter and parsley.

Step 4: Bake the Sliders

Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Homemade Buffalo Sauce

Made with vinegar, a cayenne pepper-based hot sauce, and butter, homemade Buffalo sauce adds so much flavor to different recipes. It comes together quickly and is delicious in my Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, and Buffalo Chicken Dip. The spicy Buffalo sauce is so yummy with the sweet Hawaiian rolls and savory chicken.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the portion you plan to eat in the oven or air fryer until heated through.

Buffalo Chicken Sliders are the perfect party food! This recipe comes together so fast and is an amazing crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Hawaiian Rolls cut in half so the bottoms separate from the tops, see note 1
  • 1 pound mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 3 cups shredded chicken see note 2
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 3 green onions diced (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut the rolls in half by placing your hand on top of the rolls and gently, using a serrated knife, cutting them in half to remove the tops from the bottoms. Place the bottoms in the prepared baking dish.
    1 pound Hawaiian Rolls
  • Top the bottom of the rolls with half of the shredded cheese.
    1 pound mozzarella cheese
  • In a large bowl mix together the chicken, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, green onions, and garlic. Once well mixed, spread on top of the first layer of shredded cheese.
    3 cups shredded chicken, 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 3 green onions
  • Top with the remaining cheese, and the top of the slider rolls.
    1 pound mozzarella cheese
  • Mix together the butter and parsley. Pour over the prepared sliders, making sure that each roll is topped with butter.
    3 tablespoons butter, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, cut, and serve immediately. These are fantastic dipped in my Ranch dressing or my blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  1. These usually come in a pack of 24 small rolls or 12 larger rolls. Both will work for this recipe. 
  2. One pound of raw boneless skinless chicken breasts when cooked equals about 3 cups. Roasting chicken breasts, boiling them, or using a store-bought rotisserie chicken are all great options. I love keeping frozen chicken on hand for recipes like this.
