Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Butter Topping

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Adjust the buffalo sauce amount according to your preferred spice level.
  3. Add Ranch Dressing (Optional): Mix in ranch dressing with the buffalo chicken for a creamy flavor boost, if desired.
  4. Slice the Rolls: Carefully slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the roll tops connected as a single piece.
  5. Assemble the Bottom Layer: Place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring a snug fit.
  6. Layer the Chicken: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom rolls.
  7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the buffalo chicken layer to create a melty, savory topping.
  8. Top with Rolls: Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back over the cheese layer.
  9. Prepare and Apply Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder. Brush this flavorful butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls to enhance flavor and browning.
  10. Bake the Sliders: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil afterwards and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Once removed from the oven, let the sliders cool slightly, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce.
  • Ranch dressing is optional but adds a creamy texture and flavor.
  • To make cleanup easier, grease the baking dish well before assembling.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the sliders for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
