Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s recommended)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
- Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder to create the garlic butter topping.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing between each roll. Serve immediately as party appetizers or game day food.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the garlic butter topping.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the ranch dressing with cream cheese, softened.
- Serve these hot chicken bites with extra blue cheese dressing or celery sticks on the side.
