BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY



Buffalo Chicken Sliders Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: dinner rolls, shredded mozzarella cheese, rotisserie chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, butter

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 rolls dinner rolls, 1 pack
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
¾ cup hot sauce
½ cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Carefully slice the pack of dinner rolls in half, being sure to keep the rolls connected as a single units as they are split into tops and bottoms.
  • Remove the top and place the bottom section in a 9x12 inch (23x30 cm) baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the bottom with about 1 cup (100 g) of the shredded mozzarella cheese (make sure it is evenly coated as this will act as a barrier between the sauce and the bread, preventing the rolls from getting soggy).
  • Top the cheese with the shredded rotisserie chicken. Drizzle the hot sauce and ranch dressing evenly over the chicken and spread out evenly with a spoon. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the top half of the rolls on top and brush evenly with melted butter.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the rolls have heated through.
  • Remove from oven, cool slightly before transferring to a cutting board.
  • Using a large knife, follow the lines of the rolls, cutting them into 12 individual sliders.
  • Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 12-ounce bottle buffalo hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, light and dark meat
12 sweet Hawaiian slider rolls, sliced in half through the middle
Celery Blue Cheese Slaw (see recipe below)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a bias (about 1 heaping cup)
3 green onions, thinly sliced on a bias
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • To a medium-sized, straight-sided pan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the buffalo sauce, garlic powder and onion powder and whisk to incorporate. Bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir in the shredded chicken. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble: Lay the Hawaiian slider rolls on a clean work surface, cut side-up. Using tongs, transfer the buffalo chicken to the bottom half of the rolls. Top each with celery slaw. Spoon the remaining buffalo sauce on the cut-side of the top buns. Place the top half on and skewer each slider.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized bowl and toss to combine. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

GORGONZOLA-STUFFED BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS



Gorgonzola-Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Sliders image

Nothing says game day like a big plate of Buffalo wings, but let's be honest: As delicious as they are, wings can be a little messy, especially at a party. With these sliders, you can replicate that tangy, spicy taste in a way everyone can enjoy. Use either ground chicken or ground turkey in the patties then stuff them with Gorgonzola cheese. This combo is the perfect match for Buffalo wing sauce, which is mixed directly into the patties as well drizzled on the finished sliders.

Provided by Jaymee Sire

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound ground chicken or turkey (preferably dark meat, or a mix of dark and white meat)
1/4 yellow onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce, such as New Primal, plus more for serving
6 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Neutral oil, for the skillet
6 slider buns, toasted
Your favorite burger toppings, such as sliced avocado, arugula and sliced red onion

Steps:

  • Combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic and wing sauce in a medium bowl. Mix gently with your hands, taking care not to overmix.
  • Form the mixture into 6 patties (each about 2 ounces). Place 1 tablespoon of the Gorgonzola in the center of a patty. Fold the sides around the cheese and press together to seal, completely covering the cheese. Gently flatten back into a patty. Repeat with the remaining ground chicken mixture and cheese. Season the outside of the patties with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly coat a large cast-iron skillet with oil and heat over medium heat until hot. Sear the patties until cooked through or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Serve the patties on the toasted slider buns with a drizzle of extra wing sauce and your favorite burger toppings.

Tips:

  • To make the chicken sliders extra crispy, double-coat them in the breadcrumb mixture and pan-fry them for a few minutes per side until golden brown.
  • If you don't have any slider buns, you can use dinner rolls or small sandwich rolls instead.
  • To make the buffalo sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own by combining hot sauce, butter, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • If you like your sliders extra spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the buffalo sauce.
  • For a healthier version of these sliders, bake the chicken instead of frying it. You can also use whole-wheat slider buns and low-fat cheese.

Conclusion:

Buffalo chicken sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make party food that everyone will love. They're perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other casual gathering. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these sliders in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or meal, give these buffalo chicken sliders a try. You won't be disappointed!
