My Go-To Buffalo Chicken Sliders for Game Day
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted and divided)
- ¾ cup hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 12 slider buns
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Celery sticks (for serving)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves on a parchment-lined quarter baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the Greek yogurt ranch ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter. Remove 2 tablespoons and set aside. Add the hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika on top of the butter in the large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shredded chicken and prepared ranch, then toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese on top, then place the top buns over the cheese.
- Stir the reserved 2 tablespoons of melted butter with the dried parsley and brush it evenly over the tops of the buns.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes, until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden. Serve warm.

My buffalo ranch chicken sliders are so good!
This buffalo chicken sliders recipe is messy in a good way and built for sharing. The chicken gets tossed in buffalo sauce and a little homemade Greek yogurt ranch, then baked on slider buns with melted cheese. I like that everything comes together in the oven and feels casual but still put together. These buffalo chicken sliders are what I make for game days, parties, or anytime I want something that people can grab and eat without thinking too hard about it.
Buffalo Chicken Sliders Ingredients
Shredded chicken: Read my tips on how to make shredded chicken. To save time, you can use pre-shredded chicken if you prefer.
Slider buns: Any type of bread you like, such as potato rolls, Hawaiian rolls, or brioche buns, works great.
For the filling: I mix the shredded chicken with hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika, then top it with shredded cheese. Monterey Jack is my preference, but use your favorite!
For the buns: Before the sliders go in the oven, I make a quick mixture of melted butter and dried parsley and brush it on top for a glossy, flavorful shine.
For the Greek yogurt ranch: You’ll also need plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
