Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 cups (710 ml) shredded rotisserie chicken
Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
Finishing and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 package (12 count) Kings Hawaiian Rolls
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Frank’s buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and garlic powder until smooth.
- Create the filling by combining shredded chicken, ranch dressing, half of the cheese blend, and buffalo sauce in a separate bowl, mixing thoroughly.
- Carefully slice the rolls horizontally, placing the bottom halves evenly across the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the chicken mixture over the bottom roll halves, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken layer.
- Gently position the top halves of the rolls onto the cheese.
- Generously brush the butter and garlic mixture over the roll tops, covering every surface.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
Notes
- Swap chicken for pulled jackfruit or tofu to create a vegetarian version that still packs flavor and heat.
- Reduce buffalo sauce amount for kid-friendly mild sliders or add extra hot sauce for spice lovers who crave intense kick.
- Control sodium by using low-sodium ranch and choosing reduced-fat cheese options without compromising delicious taste.
- Prep ahead by assembling sliders night before and refrigerating, allowing flavors to meld beautifully before baking for effortless entertaining.
