Ingredients
  

For the Buffalo Chicken Dip
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened, full-fat
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce such as Frank's RedHot
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing plus more for serving, optional
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese optional, for extra flavor
For the Sliders
  • 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls 12 count
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)
For Serving
  • as needed Celery sticks
  • as needed Carrot sticks

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small microwave-safe bowl
  • Sharp serrated knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Dip
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch/blue cheese dressing. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the optional crumbled blue cheese into the chicken mixture.
Assemble the Sliders
  1. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, keeping the top and bottom halves intact.
  2. Place the bottom half of the rolls into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Spread the buffalo chicken dip mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
  4. Carefully place the top half of the rolls over the chicken dip mixture.
Prepare Garlic Butter Topping and Bake
  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the garlic powder.
  2. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls. This adds flavor and helps them brown beautifully.
  3. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
  6. Serve warm with extra ranch/blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks on the side.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken dip. These sliders can be assembled a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated; just bring them to room temperature before baking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
