Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
- 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder, then set this mixture aside to brush on the rolls later.
- Mix Chicken Filling: In another bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and half of both the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Prepare Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Assemble Sliders: Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top.
- Top and Brush: Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer and brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture prepared earlier.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the sliders turn a golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, slice them apart, and serve immediately for a flavorful, crowd-pleasing snack or meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time without compromising flavor.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sliders for 1-2 minutes instead of the final baking step, watching closely to avoid burning.
- These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
- King’s Hawaiian Rolls add sweetness that complements the spicy buffalo chicken perfectly; substitutions may alter the flavor balance.
