HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS

Here’s how to make these delicious sliders step-by-step:

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
   • In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder until the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Assemble the Sliders:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the bottom layer intact. Place the bottom half on a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
   • Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns.
   • Layer with slices of cheese, ensuring full coverage.
3. Top and Bake:
   • Place the top layer of buns over the chicken and cheese.
   • Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
   • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Uncover and Finish:
   • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
5. Serve:
   • Slice into individual sliders and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.

NOTES :

• Substitutions:
  • Swap buffalo sauce for barbecue sauce for a milder version.
  • Use shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
• Variations:
  • Add thinly sliced celery for crunch or pickles for extra tang.
  • Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist.
• Make-Ahead Tip:
  • Assemble the sliders up to a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
