Buffalo Blue Sliders Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 F and spray a 9x13" casserole dish with nonstick spray *or* line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the chicken, blue cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing.
• Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the sheet of rolls in half horizontally. Remove the top half and place the bottom half on your prepared baking sheet.
• Evenly spread the chicken mixture over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with the shredded cheese. Place the top of the rolls over the slider filling.
• In a small bowl, melt your butter and stir in the garlic powder. Use a brush to spread the butter over the sliders. If you don't have a brush, drizzle it over the sliders as best you can.
• Cover the sandwiches loosely with foil and place in the oven for 20 minutes until the chicken mixture is heated through and the cheese has completely melted.
• If you'd like a golden top crust as seen in the photos, remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking.
• Allow the sliders to stand 5 minutes before cutting the rolls apart. Serve warm and enjoy!
