Buffalo Chicken Sliders Ranch (Printable)

Spicy buffalo chicken on slider buns with crisp lettuce and creamy ranch dressing for a tasty snack.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 2 large breasts)

02 - 1/3 cup hot sauce (such as Franks RedHot)

03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

05 - 8 slider buns

06 - 1 cup shredded lettuce

07 - 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved

08 - 1/3 cup ranch dressing

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

10 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

11 - 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F.

02 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, hot sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder. Toss until chicken is evenly coated.

03 - Slice slider buns in half. Place bottom halves on a baking sheet.

04 - Pile buffalo chicken mixture onto each bun, top with half a slice of cheddar cheese.

05 - Bake in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted and sliders are warmed through.

06 - Remove from oven. Add shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, and celery (if using). Drizzle with ranch dressing and sprinkle with chives.

07 - Top with remaining bun halves. Serve immediately.

01 -

The hot sauce to butter ratio creates that perfect restaurant-style buffalo coating that clings to every shred of chicken
These come together in under 40 minutes but taste like they came from a sports bar downtown

02 -

Dont skip the butter in the sauce—it creates that glossy, restaurant-style coating that actually sticks to the chicken
Let the sliders rest for about 2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and doesnt slide right off when you take that first bite

03 -

If your chicken seems too dry after shredding, toss it with a tablespoon of the melted butter before adding the hot sauce
Toast the cut sides of the buns under the broiler for 1-2 minutes before adding the chicken for extra structure
