Ingredients
  

For the Sliders

  • 1 12-count package Hawaiian rolls

Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce such as Frank's RedHot
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp buffalo sauce optional, for extra kick
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, stir the softened cream cheese with the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing until smooth.
  • Add the shredded chicken and half of the cheddar and mozzarella. Stir until fully combined.
  • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in one sheet, and place the bottom half in the prepared dish.
  • Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half, then sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Set the top half of the rolls over the filling.
  • Whisk the melted butter with the garlic and parsley, then brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake another 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
  • Garnish with green onions, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm.
