Baked to perfection, these sliders are a flavorful and crowd-pleasing appetizer or game day snack that can be ready in about 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Ranch Greek Yogurt Sauce

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Buffalo Chicken Mixture

  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted and divided)
  • ¾ cup hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken

Assembly

  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (for the butter topping)
  • Celery sticks (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Buns: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves on a parchment-lined quarter baking sheet to form the base of your sliders.
  2. Make Greek Yogurt Ranch: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Set this ranch sauce aside to add into the buffalo chicken mixture later.
  3. Prepare Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Remove 2 tablespoons and keep aside for later use. To the melted butter remaining in the bowl, add hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to combine the sauce evenly before adding the shredded chicken and the prepared Greek yogurt ranch. Toss all ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated with the spicy ranch mixture.
  4. Assemble Sliders: Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the bottom halves of the slider buns. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken layer. Then, place the top halves of the buns over the cheese to complete each slider.
  5. Butter and Season Buns: Mix the reserved 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the slider buns to add flavor and help achieve a golden finish when baked.
  6. Bake the Sliders: Cover the assembled sliders loosely with foil to retain moisture and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and sliders to heat through. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 5 minutes until the tops of the buns are lightly golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the buffalo chicken sliders warm, accompanied by celery sticks for a classic pairing.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more hot sauce to the buffalo chicken mixture.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time and add flavor.
  • Slider buns can be substituted with Hawaiian rolls for a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
