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!

Buffalo Chicken Sliders with Celery-Blue Cheese Slaw image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

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.

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!
