BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY

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

Ingredients

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!

2 cups premixed bagged coleslaw
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Cut the dinner rolls in half so you have a top and bottom piece. Place the bottom half in a large baking dish (a lasagna pan works well) and sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the top.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and if using, the habanero hot sauce. Spread this evenly over the buns in the baking dish.
Mix the bagged coleslaw them spread it on top of the buffalo chicken. Top with the remaining mozzarella then put the tops of the buns on top.
Melt the butter, mix in the Italian seasoning, then brush the butter over the buns.
Cover the baking dish with foil then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the sliders are hot, the cheese is melted, and the tops of the buns are golden. Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.

Buffalo Chicken Sliders with Celery-Blue Cheese Slaw image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 25m

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

For the best buffalo sauce, use high-quality hot sauce, butter, and spices. You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
If you don't have buffalo sauce, you can make your own by combining hot sauce, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Use a sturdy slider bun that can hold up to the juicy chicken and buffalo sauce.
Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly before shredding them. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat.
Serve the sliders immediately with your favorite toppings, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or celery sticks.

Conclusion:

Grilled buffalo chicken sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make party food that is sure to be a hit with your guests. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy slider that is perfect for game day, a summer cookout, or any other casual gathering. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy these amazing sliders!
