ingredient
- 3 cups pre-cooked shredded chicken, or thighs
- ¾ cup Franks RedHot hot sauce, or buffalo sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 dinner rolls, King's Hawaiian
Directions
- Preheat the Oven – Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 350°F (177°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Make Buffalo Chicken – In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, and ranch dressing.
- Slice the Rolls – Use a serrated knife to cut the rolls in half lengthwise, keeping them intact once sliced.
- Assemble the Sliders – Place the bottom half of the rolls cut-side up on the lined sheet pan. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. Add the buffalo chicken, about ¼ cup per slider. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Sprinkle on the blue cheese and green onions.
- Season the Rolls – Place the top half of the rolls on the assembled sliders. Heat the butter in the microwave in 15-second increments until melted. Stir in the Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Brush the butter mixture over the tops.
- Bake the Sliders – Cover the sliders with foil. Bake for 10 minutes, then uncover. Bake until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Serve – Transfer to a platter and serve immediately while hot.
