Buffalo Chicken Dip Sliders are a fantastic way to enjoy your favorite spicy dip in sandwich form! These sliders are creamy, tangy, and cheesy, all packed into sweet Hawaiian rolls. They make a perfect appetizer for any game day celebration or casual get-together.
These sliders are like having buffalo chicken dip in a convenient, bite-sized sandwich. They’re super easy to make with shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce and served on slider buns. The combination of spicy and tangy flavors is irresistible and perfect for any party. You can use leftover shredded chicken or grab a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it even simpler.
These sliders are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, just store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or toaster oven at 325°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’re heated through. If you’re using a microwave, heat them in 30-second intervals until warm. Enjoy every flavorful bite!
Buffalo Chicken Dip Sliders Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups shredded Chicken I used rotisserie chicken for convenience
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce like Frank’s
- 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 cups Low-moisture mozzarella cheese freshly grated (avoid pre-shredded cheese)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly shredded (avoid pre-shredded cheese)
- 12 King’s Hawaiian Rolls
- 4 tbsp Butter melted
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place the bottom half of the King's Hawaiian Rolls on a sheet pan. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the rolls.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
- Top with Rolls: Place the top halves of the rolls on the cheese.
- Season and Bake: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Italian seasoning and garlic salt. Brush this mixture over the top of the rolls. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve!
Notes
- Use Freshly Grated Cheese: Freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan melt better and have a richer flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you like less heat, use a milder buffalo sauce or mix in a bit more ranch dressing to tone down the spiciness.
- Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 350°F (175°C) before baking to ensure even cooking and a nicely melted cheese topping.

Can I Use Chicken Breasts Instead Of Shredded Chicken?
Yes, you can use chicken breasts instead of shredded chicken. Simply cook the chicken breasts (either by baking, boiling, or grilling), shred them, and then follow the recipe as directed. Using rotisserie chicken is convenient, but cooking your own chicken breasts will work just as well and can be a bit healthier if you prefer.
How Do I Store Leftover Sliders?
To store leftover sliders, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sliders back on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but they might not be as crispy.
