Ingredients
Scale
- 12 count Hawaiian sweet rolls (or similar slider buns)
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
- 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Optional Topping: 2 tablespoons melted butter mixed with 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
- Slice the package of slider rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in one piece. Place the bottom half of the rolls into your prepared baking dish or on the sheet pan.
- Distribute the seasoned buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Sprinkle the Monterey Jack/Mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the chicken mixture.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer. Gently press down.
- If using the optional topping, brush the melted butter and parsley mixture over the top of the rolls.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the rolls are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven. If you prefer a crispier top, you can briefly broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Slice the sliders apart between the rolls and serve immediately. These are excellent served with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, mix 1/4 cup of ranch dressing into the chicken mixture along with the Buffalo sauce.
- If you do not have pre-cooked chicken, you can cook 1 pound of chicken breasts in a slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours, shred them, and then toss with the sauce ingredients.
- These sliders are best served warm right out of the oven for the best melted cheese texture.
