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)
