Description
Buffalo Chicken Sliders are bite-sized baked sandwiches filled with spicy shredded chicken, creamy ranch, and melty cheese, all tucked into soft slider buns brushed with garlicky butter. Perfect for game days, parties, or weeknight dinners, these sliders are quick, cheesy, and guaranteed to disappear fast.

-
9-pack slider buns

1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken

Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep and extra flavor.
Adjust spice by adding more ranch for milder sliders or extra hot sauce for a kick.
Hawaiian rolls add a sweet contrast to the spicy filling.
For crunchier tops, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
Assemble ahead, refrigerate, and bake before serving.
