Ingredients
  

Buffalo Chicken Filling
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken a rotisserie chicken works perfectly
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce such as Frank's RedHot
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sliders & Topping
  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls or slider buns
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Without separating the individual rolls, slice the slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom section of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Top with the provolone cheese slices. Place the top section of the rolls over the cheese.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
  6. Brush the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the sliders are heated through.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tip 1: For a spicier slider, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture or use Pepper Jack cheese.
Tip 2: To avoid soggy bottoms, you can briefly toast the bottom buns for 2-3 minutes before adding the filling.
Tip 3: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
