Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

For your Buffalo chicken sliders, the base of the dish revolves around the chicken. Here’s how to cook it:

• If you’re using raw chicken, grill, bake, or boil it until it’s fully cooked.
• Shred the chicken with forks or use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for quicker shredding.

For those short on time, a Rotisserie Chicken is a great option. It offers convenience without sacrificing flavor, and you can simply shred the chicken and mix it with the buffalo sauce.

Step 2: Make the Buffalo Sauce

A good buffalo sauce is key to the success of your sliders. Here’s a simple recipe:

• Combine ½ cup of your favorite hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot) with 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small saucepan.
• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or cayenne pepper.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until the ingredients are well combined. Once the sauce is ready, pour it over the shredded chicken and mix until the chicken is fully coated.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

Now comes the fun part—assembling your Buffalo chicken sliders. Here’s what to do:

• Cut your slider buns in half and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
• Add a generous portion of the shredded buffalo chicken on each bun.
• Top with blue cheese crumbles or shredded cheddar, depending on your preference.
• Drizzle some ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top.
• Place the top halves of the buns over the chicken.

Step 4: Bake or Grill

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or your grill to medium heat. If you’re baking the sliders, cover them loosely with foil and bake for about 10-15 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and the buns are warm. For grilling, cook the sliders for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the buns don’t burn.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Buffalo chicken sliders with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. You can pair them with Crockpot Mac and Cheese or Cheesy Potatoes to complete your meal.
