- 12 King's Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken using a rotisserie bird
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce like Frank’s
- 1/2 cup creamy ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- A dash of black pepper
- 2 cups freshly grated low-moisture mozzarella cheese avoid pre-shredded
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese not pre-packaged
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. This will streamline your process. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating, shred your cooked chicken and toss it in a bowl with the buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Reserve a small handful of mozzarella for topping later. Add half of this cheese mixture to the buffalo chicken, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout.
Next, slice the sweet rolls in half and place the bottoms in a baking dish. Pile the buffalo chicken mixture onto the bottoms of the rolls. Don’t be shy—load them up! Sprinkle on those blue cheese crumbles, then place the tops of the rolls on.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Italian herbs and garlic salt. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls generously. It’ll give the sliders a beautiful golden color and a rich flavor.
Once assembled, pop the dish into the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. Your kitchen will smell incredible.
Allow the sliders to cool for a few moments before cutting them into individual portions. Serve warm, paired with your favorite sides. Trust me; everyone will be going back for seconds.
- Use fresh ingredients: While convenience is key, fresh herbs and garlic will make a major difference.
- Don’t skimp on the cheese: The duo of mozzarella and Parmesan creates a deliciously gooey texture.
- Substitute with your favorites: If blue cheese isn’t your thing, feel free to leave it off or substitute it with feta.
- Adjust the spice: Feel free to modify the buffalo sauce amount based on your heat tolerance.
- Make it ahead: You can assemble these sliders in advance and refrigerate them. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
