# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
03 - Line a baking sheet or 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Arrange the bottom halves of slider buns closely together.
04 - Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the buns.
05 - Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
06 - Optionally add crumbled blue cheese and/or pickled jalapeños over the cheese layer.
07 - Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese layer.
08 - In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the buns generously with the garlic butter.
09 - Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
10 - Remove from oven, garnish with chopped chives or green onions, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pull apart to serve.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The combo of spicy buffalo sauce and creamy cheese tucked inside buttery slider rolls is basically impossible to stop eating
- They come together in under 30 minutes of active prep but taste like you spent forever planning them
02 -
- Room temperature cream cheese is non-negotiable here unless you want tiny surprise lumps in your filling
- Letting them rest for those 5 minutes seems silly but it keeps the cheese from oozing out when you pull them apart
03 -
- Hawaiian rolls are worth seeking out for that slight sweetness that tames the heat
- Line your baking dish with parchment that overhangs the sides for easy lifting
