Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Sliders

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 12 count brioche slider buns (or brioche dinner rolls, sliced in half)
  • 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (12 ounce) container Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip, divided
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Slaw Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup shredded celery

Instructions

  1. Prepare Buffalo Chicken: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, toss the cooked, shredded chicken with buffalo hot sauce until fully coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Assemble Sliders: Arrange the brioche slider buns cut side up in a small baking dish or on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip on the bottom halves of the buns. Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the ranch, then spoon the buffalo chicken atop the cheese, smoothing it out into an even layer. Place the top halves of the buns over the chicken to form sliders.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter and Bake: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in minced garlic and chopped flat-leaf parsley until well combined. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the top slider buns. Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until the cheese melts and the buns start to brown.
  4. Make the Slaw: While sliders bake, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and shredded celery in a medium bowl. Stir in additional Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip to coat the slaw vegetables to your preference, creating a creamy and tangy slaw.
  5. Add Slaw and Serve: After baking, carefully remove the top buns using a spatula. Spread the prepared slaw generously over the buffalo chicken layer. Replace the top buns to complete the sliders. Slice each slider if desired and serve them warm for a delicious, spicy, and creamy bite.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded chicken for best texture and flavor; rotisserie chicken works well.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.
  • Brioche buns add a buttery sweetness but you can substitute with any soft slider rolls.
  • Slaw can be made ahead and refrigerated to save time.
  • For a lighter option, use a reduced-fat ranch dip and turkey breast instead of chicken thigh.
  • To add extra flavor, sprinkle chopped green onions or blue cheese crumbles on the slaw.
