These buffalo chicken sliders are always a hit, whether they’re for a quick weeknight dinner, or a group of friends! Here’s everything you’ll need and how to make them.
What You’ll Need
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12-count pack of dinner rolls: I like the King’s Hawaiian brand. Make sure to get the ones that say “Savory Butter Rolls”.
- Cooked chicken: To make this super easy, I use shredded rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken.
- Buffalo sauce: I use the Frank’s buffalo hot sauce. It’s on the milder side so it isn’t too spicy.
- Ranch seasoning: I use Hidden Valley.
- 1/3 less fat cream cheese: Highly recommend the Philadelphia brand. It has the best texture and taste.
- Shredded Mozzarella cheese
- Parsley (optional)
How To Make Them
- Prep oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 400 F and line baking sheet with parchment.
- Make the buffalo chicken: Add chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, and parsley to a medium bowl and mix.
- Cut rolls: With a large bread knife, slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally, so there is a top and bottom half. Remove the top half and place the bottom half on the baking sheet.
- Assemble sliders: Spread cream cheese on the bottom half of the sliders, then spread the chicken mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle on the other 1/2 mozzarella and pop on the top half of the buns. Spray lightly with oil and sprinkle with ranch seasoning.
- Bake: Cover with foil, and bake for 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Cut into individual sliders, top with more fresh parsley, and enjoy!
To Store
I would recommend eating these immediately – they are the best fresh out of the oven. However, if you have some leftover I like to either wrap them up in the same foil I baked them with, or put them in a ziplock bag. I’d recommend reheating in the oven or air fryer to bring some texture back!

Again, 10/10! It’s quick and it’s filling. The buffalo sauce had the right amount of “kick” to it. And I loved the “hint” of cream cheese with each bite.
Hey Tiff, glad you enjoyed them! Perfect for super bowl weekend coming up, too!
