Ingredients
Scale
- 12 King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls (or similar slider rolls)
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup Ranch dressing (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Colby Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, 1/4 cup of Ranch dressing, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
- Slice the package of slider rolls horizontally in one piece, keeping the bottoms and tops separate but intact. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish or on the sheet pan.
- Distribute the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Sprinkle the Monterey Jack or Colby Jack cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, mix any remaining melted butter with a pinch of garlic powder and brush this mixture lightly over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven. Drizzle the remaining Ranch dressing over the top of the warm sliders before slicing and serving immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, substitute blue cheese dressing for the Ranch dressing in the chicken mixture and for the drizzle.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the chicken mixture.
- These sliders are excellent for make ahead party food; assemble everything (except the final butter brush and baking) up to 4 hours ahead, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Add 5-10 minutes to the covered baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
