Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (hot sauce mixed with melted butter)
Bread and Toppings
- 12 mini slider buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup celery sticks, cut into small pieces
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook chicken breasts by poaching, baking, or using rotisserie chicken until fully cooked and tender. Then shred the chicken using two forks or a mixer.
- Mix the Buffalo Sauce: In a bowl, combine your favorite hot sauce with melted butter, adjusting the ratio to balance heat and richness to your liking.
- Toss Chicken in Sauce: Pour the buffalo sauce over the shredded chicken and mix thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with spicy buffalo flavor.
- Toast the Buns: Lightly butter the mini slider buns, then toast them on a skillet or in the oven until golden brown and slightly crisp to add flavor and texture.
- Assemble the Sliders: Layer the buffalo chicken evenly on the bottom half of each bun. Add shredded cheese if using, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and place a few pieces of celery sticks for crunch. Top with the upper half of the bun.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and offer extra dipping sauces on the side for a perfect game day spread.

- Adjust buffalo sauce to control the heat level to your preference.
