Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls such as King’s Hawaiian
- 3 cups shredded chicken breast about 8 ounces cooked; see How to Cook Shredded Chicken
- ¾ cup hot sauce such as Frank’s RedHot or Frank’s Buffalo
- ¼ cup ranch dressing I use a Greek-yogurt based
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella provolone, or Havarti cheese, divided
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Without disconnecting the buns at their sides, slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the center of the baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and garlic powder.
- Scatter a small handful of the cheese bottom buns, then top evenly with the Buffalo chicken. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the top bun over the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and Italian seasoning, then brush liberally over the top of the buns.
- Bake the Buffalo chicken sliders until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool a few minutes. Carefully slice apart with a serrated knife, and serve.
