Buffalo Chicken Sliders are made with tender shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce and ranch dressing and baked inside a soft garlic butter bun with melted mozzarella cheese. The buffalo wing chicken sliders are perfect for watching football!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 9 or 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. This is an important step because the cheese will melt and can stick to the foil. Use a long serrated knife to slice the rolls in half, lengthwise. Don't pull the rolls apart or individually slice them because you want the rolls to be completely connected. Place the bottom side of the rolls in the pan.
In a bowl, mix together shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing.Layer half of the cheese on the bottom of the rolls. This helps to keep the rolls from getting soggy.
Add buffalo chicken on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese all over the top of the buffalo chicken.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in garlic and parsley and mix together.Place the top half of the rolls on top of the buffalo chicken. Brush the butter mixture all over the rolls. Evenly spread it over the top and allow some of the butter mixture to drip to the base of the rolls.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted. Uncover the foil and bake for 3 to 5 minutes longer. Serve hot!
Notes
I love to grab a rotisserie chicken at Costco because of how large they are for the price. You can't beat $4.99! Their rotisserie chickens are juicy and have a ton of flavor.I suggest to buy King's Hawaiian sweet rolls in a 12-packI prefer to buy a block of cheese and freshly grate it for this recipe. The cheese melts much better when freshly grated as it doesn't have any preservatives on it like packaged shredded cheese does (to keep it from sticking together).I prefer to use refrigerated ranch dressing because of its quality of it but any brand will work in this recipe.
