Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce e.g., Frank’s RedHot
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing optional
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder divided
  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 6 slices provolone or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the buffalo sauce, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add shredded chicken and stir to coat. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  • For a creamier texture, stir in the ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Without separating the rolls, slice them horizontally into two layers. Place the bottom layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
  • Lay the cheese slices on top of the chicken, halving them to fit if needed.
  • Place the top layer of rolls on top of the cheese.
  • Mix melted butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and dried parsley.
  • Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
  • Cover the sliders loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
  • Let the sliders cool for 5 minutes. Slice them apart and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
