Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie recommended)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot or preferred brand)
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls (King’s Hawaiian or similar)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tbsp milk or buttermilk (to thin ranch)
  • Optional: Blue cheese crumbles
  • Optional: Green onions or chives
  • Optional: Gluten-free rolls
  • Optional: Greek yogurt (substitute for cream cheese)
  • Optional: Dairy-free cheese and vegan ranch
  • Optional: Extra buffalo sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the chicken mixture. Stir to evenly distribute.
  4. Using a serrated bread knife, slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected.
  5. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
  7. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling and press gently.
  8. Mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle dried parsley if desired.
  9. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is bubbling.
  11. While sliders bake, whisk together ranch dressing and milk or buttermilk until pourable.
  12. Let sliders cool for 2-3 minutes. Pull apart gently and drizzle ranch over the top or serve on the side.
  13. Garnish with green onions or extra parsley if desired.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt. If filling seems dry, add more buffalo sauce or a tablespoon of ranch. For extra crispy tops, broil for 1 minute after baking. Sliders can be assembled ahead and baked before serving. Substitute gluten-free rolls or dairy-free cheese for dietary needs.
