Ingredients
  

Slider Ingredients
  • 12 small buns soft slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie, leftover roast chicken, or shredded poached chicken)
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Buffalo Sauce (adjust amount to taste)
  • 6 slices cheese (sliced cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone; blue cheese crumbles optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing the tops)
Optional Toppings
  • blue cheese crumbles
  • ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • dill pickles
  • sliced celery
  • chopped green onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Frank’s hot buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated; taste and add more sauce if you like it spicier.
  3. Slice the slider buns horizontally and arrange the bottom halves in a single layer in a baking dish.
  4. Spoon the buffalo-coated chicken evenly over the bottom halves, pressing slightly so the filling sits nicely on the buns.
  5. Scatter or layer your chosen cheese over the chicken. Add optional toppings if you want them baked in.
  6. Place the top halves of the buns over each slider to close them.
  7. Brush the tops with melted butter.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the buns are golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven, slice between the buns to separate sliders, and serve warm with extra ranch or celery sticks for crunch.
