introduction

This recipe uses shredded chicken mixed with Frank’s hot buffalo sauce and melted cheese on small slider buns. You can use leftover chicken or cook chicken quickly — for example try a simple air fryer method like this air fryer chicken breast to save time. The sliders bake until the cheese is bubbly and the buns are warm.

how to make Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Mix the chicken and sauce well. Fill each slider bun with the mixture, add a slice or sprinkle of cheese, and bake until the cheese melts. If you like, brush the bun tops with melted butter before baking for a golden finish. You can also use cooked tenders instead of shredded chicken — try using air fried tenders from this guide to speed things up: air fryer chicken tenders.
