Buffalo Chicken Sliders Recipe

These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are exactly what you need for your next game day gathering, my friends!

They're easy to make and always a hit. Everyone loves a slider, and these are especially delicious with tender shredded chicken drenched in spicy, tangy buffalo sauce, and lots of melty cheese on toasted mini buns.

Bring our a tray of hot sliders and watch them disappear.

Let's talk about how to make buffalo chicken sliders, shall we?

Buffalo Chicken Sliders Ingredients

The full ingredients list with measurements is listed in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  • Cooked Shredded Chicken. You can also use leftover shredded chicken breast or thigh, or store bought rotisserie chicken as a time saver. Or, learn how to make shredded chicken at home.
  • Buffalo Sauce. Try my awesome homemade buffalo sauce, or use your favorite brand.
  • Blue Cheese Dressing. Or use ranch dressing, if you prefer.
  • Slider Buns. King's Hawaiian rolls are popular.
  • Shredded Cheese. Mozzarella cheese is great, here, as is Monterey jack cheese or spicy pepper jack cheese. Any melty cheese will work.
  • Butter.
  • For Topping. Red pepper flakes, fresh chopped parsley.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Sliders - the Recipe Method

To make buffalo chicken sliders, mix together tender shredded chicken in a large bowl with buffalo sauce and blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Spread out the bottoms of the slider rolls onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Layering buffalo chicken and shredded cheese onto buns to make Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Layer the buns first with shredded cheese, then the saucy Buffalo chicken, then more cheese.

Add the tops of the slider buns, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Adding shredded cheese, then baking Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F (175C), or until the cheese is melted and the bun tops are nicely browned.

Boom! Done! Your spicy buffalo chicken sliders ready to serve. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and enjoy! These look so good, don't they? I think I could eat 10 of these! YUM.

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • Try my easy shredded chicken recipe to make it as spicy as you'd like. It's so much better when you make at home.
  • Drizzle your sliders right out of the oven with extra buffalo sauce or hot sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Prepare the buffalo chicken mixture and shredded cheese ahead of time for quicker assembly later. Perfect for parties!

Storage & Leftovers

Leftover buffalo chicken sliders will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator in a sealed container. They do tend to get a bit soggy, though. You can reheat them on a baking sheet in the oven to enjoy again.

Try wrapping them in aluminum foil before reheating.

Leftover shredded buffalo chicken can be stored separately in a sealed container in the refrigerator, or frozen, for assembling sliders at a later time.

That's it, my friends. I hope you enjoy this buffalo chicken sliders recipe. Let me know if you make it. I'd love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up!

    Mike,

    Why is ground chicken listed as a keyword but not in the recipe?

      Oops! My mistake, Art! It should have been "chicken". "Ground Chicken" is for this recipe: Spicy Ground Chicken Sliders (With Buffalo Sauce): https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/spicy-chicken-sliders/

    This looked too easy not to make. So I did. Kind of. I bought a rotisserie chicken (traditional flavor means no flavor so I won't do THAT again). I forgot got to grab my measuring cups or spoons. So...the butter was no problem. It's already measured. and into the pot. I poured in hot sauce until I figured it was a half cup worth...more or less (mostly more). The spices got dumped in until I said...ENOUGH! Stirred it up and let it cool. Uncle Wally had brat buns on sale, so I got those instead of Hawaiian sweet rolls. A sprinkling if Mozarella cheese and we were set. oh...no blue cheese. I dont think we missed it. Mike, I gotta tell ya...a family of three gives this 4 thumbs up (I made it...I get two votes.) We'll have these again!
