Ingredients
Scale
Slider Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (optional)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Butter Topping
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken thoroughly with buffalo sauce until well coated, adjusting the sauce amount to your preferred spice level.
- Add Dressing: If using, stir ranch dressing into the buffalo chicken mixture for added creaminess and flavor.
- Slice Rolls: Carefully slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping all rolls connected for easy assembly.
- Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, then evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over them.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buffalo chicken layer to add a rich and cheesy texture.
- Top with Rolls: Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back on top of the cheese-covered chicken mixture.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this savory mixture generously over the top of the rolls to create a flavorful crust.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the tops of the rolls turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving to add a touch of freshness and color.
Notes
- Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity based on your desired spice level.
- Ranch dressing is optional but adds a nice creamy balance to the spicy buffalo chicken.
- Use fresh parsley for garnish to add brightness but it can be omitted if unavailable.
- For extra cheesiness, you can add more shredded cheddar or a mix of cheeses.
- These sliders can be reheated in the oven wrapped in foil to retain moisture.
