Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, stirring until evenly coated.
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms attached as whole layers.
- Place the bottom halves of the buns in the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the buns, followed by the shredded cheese.
- Drizzle the ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top of the chicken and cheese layer.
- Place the top halves of the buns over the filling to close the sliders.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then slice and serve warm.
Variations :
- Add a Crunch: Include sliced pickles or crispy fried onions between the layers.
- Different Cheese: Swap mozzarella for Monterey Jack, provolone, or pepper jack for extra spice.
- Heat Levels: Use a milder wing sauce or increase the heat with extra hot buffalo sauce or sriracha.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free buns and verify the buffalo sauce and dressing are gluten-free.
Tips :
- For a shortcut, use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- To keep sliders from becoming soggy, layer cheese under and over the chicken to act as a barrier.
- Let the sliders rest for a couple of minutes after baking for easier slicing and serving.
- Leftovers can be wrapped and reheated in a toaster oven for crispness the next day.
