Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
1/2 cup Ranch dressing
1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Rolls & Topping

1 package Kings Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the sliders.
Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder; set this mixture aside for brushing on the top of the rolls later.
Mix Chicken Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded rotisserie chicken, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and half of the combined shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until well incorporated.
Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves snugly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Add Chicken Mixture: Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the bottom halves of the rolls. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly on top of the chicken layer.
Top and Butter: Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer. Use a brush to apply the garlic butter mixture evenly across the tops of the rolls.
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops of the sliders turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm for a flavorful and satisfying treat.

Notes

For extra heat, add more buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture.
You can substitute the ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a different flavor profile.
Use any shredded rotisserie or cooked chicken you have on hand.
Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
These sliders can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
