Description
Easy-to-make sliders filled with shredded chicken, Frank’s hot sauce, and melted cheese, topped with buttery, garlicky buns.
Ingredients
- Slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls)
- Shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken)
- Frank’s hot buffalo sauce
- Sliced or shredded cheese (American, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)
- Butter (optional)
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Frank’s hot buffalo sauce and toss until well coated.
- Slice the slider buns in half and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish in a single layer.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns, pressing lightly so the chicken distributes.
- Place slices or a layer of shredded cheese over the chicken.
- Set the top halves of the buns over the cheese to form the sliders.
- (Optional) Melt butter, stir in a pinch of garlic powder, and brush the mixture over the tops of the buns.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15–20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake another 5–10 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For a creamy counterpoint, use Greek yogurt mixed with a little mayo. For vegetarians, substitute shredded jackfruit or firm plant-based chicken.
