Hi there, food lover! 👋 Ready to spice things up in your kitchen? Today, we’re diving into a dish that combines bold flavors, comforting textures, and a little bit of heat—Buffalo Chicken Sliders! 🍔🔥 These sliders are the ultimate crowd-pleaser, perfect for game nights, family gatherings, or even a cozy dinner with a twist.
What makes Buffalo Chicken Sliders so irresistible is the balance of flavors: juicy shredded chicken coated in tangy, spicy buffalo sauce, cooled down with creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, and tucked inside soft slider buns. Each bite is a perfect harmony of heat, creaminess, and buttery bread.
This dish has humble origins in American comfort food traditions, inspired by the famous Buffalo wings from Buffalo, New York. Instead of messy wings, this recipe transforms those fiery flavors into a neat, handheld sandwich that’s easy to serve and enjoy.

Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- ½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing buns)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Prepare the chicken filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, stirring until everything is well coated and heated through. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. - Prepare the slider buns:
Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached as one large sheet. Place the bottom half on a greased baking dish. - Assemble the sliders:
Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. - Top with the buns:
Place the top half of the rolls back on. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds on top (optional). - Bake to perfection:
Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted. - Finish & serve:
Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into individual sliders. Garnish with sliced green onions and parsley. Serve warm!
