- 1 package Hawaiian type rolls sliced horizontally
- 1.25 lb. cooked shredded chicken
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tbs. ranch dressing
- 2 celery stalks finely chopped
- 3 green onions finely chopped separating and reserving the green tops for garnish
- 2 tbs. melted butter
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a rectangle baking dish with parchment paper or foil.
Combine buffalo sauce, mayo and ranch dressing in a medium size bowl then whisk until creamy.
Stir in celery pieces, green onion pieces and shredded chicken.
Carefully slice rolls horizontally and set roll tops aside.
Place bottom half of rolls in a parchment lined baking dish. Spoon on the buffalo chicken mixture to cover the bread then place roll top over chicken mixture.
Brush melted butter over the top of rolls and sprinkle with the green onion tops.
Place in the pre-heated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove and carefully separate the sliders with a sharp knife for easy serving.
RECIPE NOTES:
One reason why this recipe is such a hit is because I use boneless skinless chicken thighs. I cook the chicken thighs in my instant pot for about 25 to 30 minutes. The chicken is always super tender, and shreds effortlessly with a fork.
To save a few calories you can substitute avacado or olive oil mayo for about half the calories as regular mayo. You can also change up the recipe using regular size slider buns just in case you can't find Hawaiian type rolls.
