Ingredients
Scale
- 3½ cups shredded cooked chicken (e.g., rotisserie chicken)
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
- 12 count King’s Hawaiian Rolls (or similar sweet dinner rolls)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet, optionally lining it with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Without separating the individual rolls, slice the entire slab of King’s Hawaiian rolls horizontally through the middle. Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the baking sheet.
- Prepare Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Assemble Sliders: Scatter a small handful of mozzarella cheese over the bottom half of the rolls. Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over this cheese layer. Top the chicken with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. Place the top halves of the rolls over the chicken and cheese.
- Season and Bake: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Brush this seasoned butter liberally over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops of the rolls are golden and lightly toasted. If the tops brown too quickly, you can loosely tent with foil.
- Serve: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes on the cutting board before slicing them apart with a serrated knife. Serve warm, with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, and optional fresh toppings.
Notes
- Optional: blue cheese crumbles, lettuce, tomato, or red onion for serving
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
