Buffalo chicken sliders
**adapted from Half-Baked Harvest
Makes 12
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 package dinner rolls, halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, melted
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1/3 cup pickled jalapeños(optional)
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
A few notes on making these:
- I buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred that meat for my mixture.
- I love using blue cheese dressing for the rolls in this mixture, but you can use ranch if preferred.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cilantro, and scallions.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Top with cheddar cheese, then drizzle/spoon over the ranch/blue cheese. Add the buffalo chicken, extra herbs, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños (optional). Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
- In a bowl, mix the butter, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Spread the butter over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Cover the rolls with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Slice the rolls and serve warm!
