Introduction

These Simple Addicting Buffalo Chicken Dip Sliders combine tender shredded chicken with creamy, spicy buffalo sauce on soft Hawaiian rolls. Perfect for game day or any casual gathering, they’re easy to make and bursting with flavor.

Six slider sandwiches are placed on a small wooden board over a beige cloth on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich has a shiny, dark brown top bun with a soft texture. Inside the sandwiches, there is an orange layer of shredded chicken mixed with a creamy sauce and hints of white cheese. To the top right of the board, a small white bowl with a blue pattern is filled with light yellow potato chips. Below the bowl, a small white dish contains a creamy white dipping sauce with black specks.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 package Hawaiian rolls
1/2 cup cayenne hot sauce
1 package cream cheese
1/2 cup blue cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic
Sea salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
Ranch dressing, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Place chicken breasts in a large pot and season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper (about 1 teaspoon each). Add 2 tablespoons of hot sauce and enough water to cover the chicken by 1 inch.
Step 2: Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, flip the chicken breasts, and cook for 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73°C). Remove from water and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 4: Cut each chicken breast into 3-4 pieces. Shred the chicken using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or two forks in a bowl.
Step 5: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, blue cheese, and remaining 1/2 cup of cayenne hot sauce. Stir in the shredded chicken until fully coated.
Step 6: Carefully slice the entire layer of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally using a bread knife. Place the bottom half on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Replace the top half and press down gently.
Step 8: Mince the garlic cloves finely. Combine minced garlic with butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until melted and bubbling.
Step 9: Brush the garlic butter over the top of the rolls.
Step 10: Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Watch carefully after 10 minutes to avoid burning.
Step 11: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice into sliders or leave whole to pull apart.
Step 12: Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne hot sauce or substitute with buffalo wing sauce.
Try adding chopped celery or green onions to the chicken mixture for extra crunch.
Use shredded mozzarella instead of blue cheese if you prefer a less tangy taste.
If you don’t have Hawaiian rolls, soft dinner rolls or slider buns work well too.

Storage

Store leftover sliders tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the rolls soggy.
