→ For the Garlic Butter Topping
10 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
11 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking sheet or square casserole dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Frank's Buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until all the chicken is evenly coated in the spicy sauce mixture.
03 -
Without separating the individual rolls, slice the entire slider bun package horizontally (keeping tops and bottoms connected). Place the bottom half of the slider buns in the lined baking dish.
04 -
Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the buns. Make sure to go all the way to the edges for maximum flavor in every bite. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken layer.
05 -
Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese layer. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of the buns with this garlic butter mixture.
06 -
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
07 -
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut along the lines of the slider buns to separate them. Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
# Notes:
01 -
You can use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut when making these sliders.
02 -
For extra buffalo flavor, serve with additional Frank's hot sauce on the side.
03 -
These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
