Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling:
  • 1 lb cooked chicken breast shredded
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce adjust for heat preference
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sliders:
  • 6 –8 slider buns or small hamburger buns
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Method
 

Prepare the Buffalo Chicken:
  1. In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese until evenly combined.
Toast the Buns:
  1. Slice slider buns and lightly toast them in a skillet or oven until golden.
Assemble the Sliders:
  1. Place a generous scoop of buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded lettuce and sliced red onion. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, if desired. Place the top bun on each slider.
Serve Warm:
  1. Arrange sliders on a platter and serve immediately. Great with extra ranch or blue cheese on the side for dipping.

Notes

Cheese Swap: Pepper jack adds a spicy kick; mozzarella makes it milder and gooey.
Make Ahead: Chicken filling can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated; reheat gently before assembling.
Heat Level: Adjust buffalo sauce to taste — mild, medium, or hot.
Bun Tip: Mini brioche buns work beautifully for a soft, buttery slider experience.
Serving Suggestion: Pair with celery sticks and carrot sticks for the classic buffalo vibe.
