Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 8 slider buns
  • ½ cup cheese crumbles (optional)
  • Lettuce (optional, for serving)
  • Tomato slices (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep & Cook: Preheat oven to 375°F, season chicken, bake until fully cooked (25-30 minutes, internal temp 165°F)

Notes

  • Choose high-quality buffalo sauce for best results – homemade buffalo sauce adds extra freshness to your sliders

  • Toast slider buns lightly to prevent them from getting soggy from the buffalo sauce
  • Keep assembled sliders warm in a 200°F oven if serving later for parties or gatherings
