Make Buffalo Chicken Hawaiian Roll Sliders

To start making this easy slider recipe, make bacon if you don’t have any leftover from breakfast.

The best way in my opinion to make bacon is to bake it in the oven at 400 degrees F on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

It bakes for about 25 minutes. Drain any extra grease, crumble it, and set it aside.

Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb of cubed chicken to the skillet with some olive oil.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and cook until the chicken is fully cooked reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Slice King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls in half and place them on a greased sheet pan or in a baking dish.

Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese and top with the cooked chicken.

Drizzle some buffalo sauce and ranch over the chicken and top with more mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle on some crumbled bacon and place the tops of the rolls on the sliders.

Mix together 2 tbsp of melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush this over the tops of the sliders.

Bake the sliders in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. You just want to bake them long enough to melt the cheese!

Serve Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Once the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted, it’s time to eat! I served these with a salad and extra ranch dressing on the side.

You will love this recipe because it’s easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
