What Type Of Ingredients Should I Use

For this recipe, it’s best to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. If you use shredded chicken, you can easily cook it in advance or use rotisserie chicken. Fresh slider buns will give you the best results, so choose ones that are soft but sturdy enough to hold the filling. Frank’s Hot Buffalo Sauce will add the perfect kick, but you can adjust the heat by using more or less. If you’re using frozen chicken, make sure to thaw it completely, draining any excess liquid, and pat it dry before mixing it with the sauce.

How To Serve Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Serve these delicious sliders right out of the oven for a warm treat. You can add your favorite optional toppings like ranch dressing or chopped green onions right before serving. These sliders work well as a meal or as appetizers for a gathering. Pair them with a side of veggies or chips for the perfect game-day snack!

How To Store Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

If you have leftovers, you can store the unassembled sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the oven until heated through, or you can use a microwave. If you’ve already assembled them, it’s best to eat them fresh, but you can still store them similarly.

Helpful Tip to Make Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

To make these sliders even more special, try mixing a little cream cheese into the chicken mixture for extra creaminess. You could also experiment with different types of cheese!

Variations

For a milder flavor, you can use BBQ sauce instead of buffalo sauce. You can also add vegetables like sliced jalapeños or bell peppers to give it a crunch and more flavor.
