Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Dip each chicken breast into the buffalo sauce mixture ensuring it’s well coated.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake the chicken in the oven for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
  6. Once cooked, remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  7. Slice the chicken breasts into smaller pieces, fitting the size of your slider buns.
  8. Slice open your slider buns and place a lettuce leaf on each.
  9. Add the buffalo chicken slices on top.
  10. Drizzle with your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing.
  11. Close the sliders with the top bun. Your Gameday Buffalo Chicken Sliders are ready!

Notes

TIPS:
  1. For an added crunch, consider adding thinly sliced celery to your sliders.
  2. The buffalo sauce can be spicy; adjust the quantity based on your heat preference.
  3. Always let the chicken rest a few minutes after cooking; it helps in retaining the juices.
  4. Opt for whole grain slider buns for a healthier option.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
  • Pair your Gameday Buffalo Chicken Sliders with a refreshing side salad or some carrot and celery sticks.
  • While these sliders pack a punch on their own, adding a side of baked sweet potato fries can elevate the whole experience.
  • For those who desire a creamier touch, serve with a side of coleslaw.
