Description

Hawaiian Roll Buffalo Chicken Sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, layered on sweet Hawaiian rolls with melted cheddar cheese, and topped with a flavorful garlic butter glaze. Perfect for game days, parties, or casual gatherings, these sliders are baked to golden perfection and can be garnished with fresh parsley for an extra burst of color and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Butter Topping

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready when you assemble the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, adjusting the amount of sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  3. Add Dressing: If desired, stir in the ranch dressing to the buffalo chicken mixture for a creamy, tangy flavor layer.
  4. Slice Rolls: Carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping all the rolls connected so they form a top and bottom half.
  5. Assemble the Base: Place the bottom half of the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, creating the base layer for the sliders.
  6. Add Buffalo Chicken Layer: Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the bottom half of the rolls to create a flavorful filling.
  7. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously scatter shredded cheddar cheese over the buffalo chicken to add a rich, melty texture.
  8. Top with Rolls: Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back over the cheese layer, completing the slider assembly.
  9. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with garlic powder and onion powder; stir well to create a savory glaze.
  10. Brush Topping: Brush the garlic-onion butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls to ensure a golden, flavorful crust.
  11. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce depending on how spicy you want the sliders.
  • Ranch dressing is optional but adds creaminess to the buffalo chicken mixture.
  • Make sure to keep the Hawaiian rolls connected when slicing to make assembly and serving easier.
  • Use fresh parsley for a pop of color and a hint of fresh flavor as garnish.
  • These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • For a milder version, reduce the buffalo sauce or substitute with a mild wing sauce.
