Ingredients
- Shredded Chicken
- Buffalo Sauce
- Slider Buns
- Cheese
- Celery
- Carrots
- Melted Butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If using rotisserie chicken, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. If cooking your own, let it cool slightly before shredding.
- Mix with Buffalo Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with your desired amount of buffalo sauce. I usually start with about ½ cup and adjust based on how spicy I want it. Mix until all the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Toast the Buns: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the cut sides with melted butter, then toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sliders: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spoon some of the buffalo chicken mixture. Top with your choice of cheese, then place the top half of the bun on.
- Bake the Sliders: Return the assembled sliders to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, I love to add some freshly chopped celery and carrots on top for crunch. Serve with extra buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping!

Keywords: These sliders are perfect for meal prep. You can prepare the buffalo chicken mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve!
