Description
Buffalo Chicken Sliders are exactly what you need for game day or any party! You can’t go wrong with serving sliders at a gathering and my buffalo chicken version includes zesty ranch, melty cheese, and fresh veggies which makes them unique. Everything is served on sweet, soft Hawaiian buns which are everyone’s favorite. These are great for easily feeding a crowd and you won’t have to spend all day in the kitchen which means you can spend more time with your guests!
Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken
- 2 cups shredded boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
- 12 count Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
- 12 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1-2 roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1-2 cups shredded romaine
- melted butter or olive oil, for serving
- chives, for serving
Instructions
- Set the oven on low broil.
- Prep and Toast the Rolls: Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls in half lengthwise (leaving the individual rolls intact). Place the rolls on a sheet pan and then place them under the broiler, watching carefully, until lightly toasted and golden. Remove the rolls from the oven. Set the bottom side of the rolls aside. Flip the top side of the rolls over and brush with butter. Return to the oven and broil the tops for another 30 seconds to a 1 minute until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and then turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees.
- Make the buffalo chicken: Add the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
- Assemble the sliders: On the bottom half of the rolls, place 6 slices of pepper jack, then add the shredded buffalo chicken mixture, then top with the remaining 6 slices of pepper jack cheese. Place in the oven and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove the sliders from the oven and top with thinly sliced tomato and sliced romaine and then place the top half of the rolls on top. Brush the tops with butter or olive oil and finely minced chives. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store: you can store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight storage container in the fridge for 1 to 2 days.
Reheat: if you want to warm the sandwiches up a bit, I recommend doing so in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, wrapped in aluminum foil. Or, if you’re in a pinch, you can reheat in the microwave at low power for 15 seconds at a time.
