These Buffalo Chicken Sliders offer a spicy and savory twist on classic sliders, perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- ½ cup Buffalo sauce
- 12 slider buns
Optional Toppings
- Ranch dressing
- Blue cheese crumbles
- Shredded lettuce
- Sliced celery
Instructions
- Mix Buffalo Chicken: In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded cooked chicken with the Buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated, ensuring the spicy flavor is well-distributed throughout.
- Heat Mixture (Optional): Warm the Buffalo chicken mixture in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through, or transfer to a slow cooker to keep warm. This step enhances the flavors and ensures a hot filling.
- Toast Buns (Optional): Lightly toast the slider buns in the oven until just golden to add a subtle crunch and prevent sogginess when assembling the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Place a generous amount of Buffalo chicken onto the bottom half of each slider bun. Add your choice of optional toppings such as ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, shredded lettuce, or sliced celery for extra creaminess, tang, and crunch. Top with the bun halves and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce according to your desired spice level.
- To make these sliders quicker, skip toasting the buns if preferred.
- These sliders can be kept warm in a slow cooker for parties or game day events.
- Blue cheese crumbles and ranch dressing complement the spicy Buffalo flavor excellently but can be omitted for a dairy-free option.
