Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • Sea Salt, to taste (about 1 tsp)
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste (about 1 tsp)
  • 2 tablespoons Cayenne Hot Sauce (for poaching water)
  • 1/2 cup Cayenne Hot Sauce (for mixing)

Sliders and Sauce

  • 1 package Hawaiian Roll
  • 1 package (8 oz) Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Blue Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • Ranch Dressing, to taste (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Poach the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large pot and season them generously with sea salt and ground black pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of cayenne hot sauce to the water along with enough water to cover the chicken by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn the chicken breasts over to cook evenly.
  2. Cook Until Done: Continue cooking the chicken for 10-15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C). Remove the chicken from the water and let it cool slightly.
  3. Preheat Oven: While the chicken cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Prepare the Chicken: Cut each chicken breast into 3-4 pieces and put them in a bowl. Shred the chicken using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or two forks until finely shredded.
  5. Mix the Buffalo Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, blue cheese, and the remaining 1/2 cup of cayenne hot sauce. Stir until well blended.
  6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the buffalo sauce mixture and stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
  7. Slice the Rolls: Place one hand over the Hawaiian roll package and carefully slice the entire layer of rolls in half horizontally with a bread knife.
  8. Assemble the Sliders: Place the bottom half of the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture on top. Replace the top half of the rolls and gently press down.
  9. Prepare Garlic Butter: Finely mince the garlic cloves. In a microwave-safe dish, combine the minced garlic and butter. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until melted and bubbling.
  10. Brush Rolls: Gently brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of the assembled rolls, ensuring even coverage.
  11. Bake the Sliders: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the tops turn golden. Monitor closely after 10 minutes to prevent burning, as the sugar in the rolls can caramelize quickly.
  12. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice the sliders if desired or leave whole for guests to pull apart. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh garlic as it adds a robust flavor to the garlic butter topping.
  • Adjust cayenne hot sauce quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Using a stand mixer to shred chicken saves time, but two forks also work well.
  • Keep an eye on the sliders during the last few minutes of baking to prevent the tops from burning.
  • These sliders are great for parties and can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
