Notes
•You can store the BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS in an air-tight container for 4 days in the refrigerator or freezer the chicken mixture in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight then assemble the sliders.
•You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from a previous meal.
•Use a fork or your hands to shred the chicken into small pieces. This will help it mix well with the buffalo sauce and toppings.
•Make sure to toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until it is well coated. You can adjust the amount of sauce depending on how spicy you like it.
•Use a cheese that melts well, like cheddar or mozzarella. Shredded cheese works best, as it will melt more evenly.
•For a little extra heat, slice some fresh jalapenos and add them on top of the cheese. Just be sure to slice them thinly so they don't overpower the other flavors.
•How to make garlic butter: Melt some butter in a small saucepan and add some minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter over the tops of the rolls before baking to give them a delicious flavor and golden-brown crust.
•Buffalo chicken sliders pair perfectly with creamy ranch dressing. Serve some on the side for dipping or drizzle it over the top of the sliders before serving
