Print Recipe

These buffalo chicken sliders are quick, easy, and perfect for game day. Creamy, spicy shredded chicken is piled onto soft slider buns, topped with melted cheddar, and baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • ¾ cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
  • 12 slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls recommended)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix (optional)
  • ¼ cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shred the cooked chicken using two forks.
  3. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and Frank’s RedHot until smooth. Add shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheddar. Stir until evenly coated.
  4. Slice the slab of 12 slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheddar on top. Place the top half of the buns over the filling.
  6. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
  7. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until tops are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Let sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing along the seams of the rolls.
  10. If using, top each slider with coleslaw and sliced green onions. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Let sliders rest after baking to set the filling. To make ahead, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, adding 5-10 minutes to covered baking time.
