Instructions
Creating Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then shred the chicken using two forks.
4. Add Sauce: In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
5. Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
6. Assemble Sliders: Spoon the Buffalo chicken mixture onto each bun. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.
7. Add Dressing: Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the toppings.
8. Top Buns: Place the top halves of the buns on the sliders.
9. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
10. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
