Instructions
Creating Buffalo Chicken Sliders is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks or your hands.
4. Combine with Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is fully coated.
5. Assemble Sliders: On a baking sheet, place the slider buns and spoon the buffalo chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Cover and Bake: Place the top half of the buns on the sliders. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
7. Add Dressing: Once out of the oven, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions or celery for added freshness.
9. Serve: Transfer the sliders to a serving platter and enjoy while they’re hot.
