Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Dice the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
  6. While the chicken is baking, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a saucepan.
  7. Heat over medium heat until simmering, then reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to the saucepan with the Buffalo sauce.
  9. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
  10. Slice the slider buns in half.
  11. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
  12. Top with the Buffalo chicken mixture, then sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Remove the sliders from the oven.
  15. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing (or ranch).
  16. Top with the slider bun tops.
  17. Serve immediately with celery sticks, shredded lettuce, or your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for 30 minutes before baking. To prevent soggy buns, briefly bake the assembled sliders with the cheese to create a protective barrier. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
