These Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Sliders are easy to make and perfect for game day or a family dinner. Made with shredded chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, and gooey melted cheese all sandwiched between soft slider buns.
We recently got back from an 800+ mile road trip to my husband’s family reunion in Pagosa Springs, CO. Friday night, a bunch of us got together around the campfire at a lakeside cabin, eating too many s’mores, telling embarrassing stories (my husband and kids love telling all my not-so-flattering tales), and enjoying getting caught up on the last few years of each others’ lives.
It lasted until well past midnight when a neighbor had had quite enough of our laughter and came out to send us back to our respective lodgings. It was so worth it, though.
The whole week consisted of a few of my family’s favorite things: We hiked to waterfalls, hot springs, and rivers. We talked and played with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We kayaked, swam, played baseball, and watched our favorite summer movie The Sandlot… twice. “You’re killing me Smalls!” Like all McCollums do when we get together, we ate. And then ate some more.
It was the huge family BBQ, luncheons, and snacks in between that inspired these Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Sliders. It’s tough to spend extra time in the kitchen cooking when there are so many people to see and things to do. This is never truer than in the summer, which makes these sliders incredibly awesome – not only do they taste great, but they take less than 30 minutes from creation to consumption.
These sliders are perfect for any get-together or an average weeknight family dinner. They’re versatile, too, as you can add as little or as much hot sauce as you want, depending on who you’re planning on serving.
Ingredients
- Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- Buffalo Sauce
- Mayo
- Blue Cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Monterrey Jack cheese
- Green Onions
- Dinner Rolls, I love Hawaiian Sweet Rolls for this recipe
- Salt
- Granulated Garlic
How to assemble Oven Baked sliders
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the buffalo chicken filling.
Cut rolls in half; I bought rolls already cut in half, making it easy. Place the bottom of the rolls in the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Add Monterrey Jack cheese on top of the bread in the pan.
Place the chicken mixture on top of the rolls in the center, add the mix, and divide evenly among the rolls—top with remaining Mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of blue cheese crumbles. Add the tops of the rolls to the pan, on top of the chicken.
Cover the baking pan with foil. Place in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and chicken is warm.

what is buffalo chicken sauce…
Buffalo Sauce – you can find it near the ketchup aisle in the grocery store. There are store brought brands, I know Kroger has one – here is a link to what it looks like: https://www.instacart.com/products/192563-kroger-mild-wing-sauce-12-fl-oz
Looks like a great recipe but I have a question. Your recipe calls for “half Buffalo sauce.” Half of what- half a cup, half a bottle? Just need a little clarification please!
You GENIUS! These look super delicious, Sandra!
