Tips & Tricks

Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: Using rotisserie chicken saves time and effort, but you can also use leftover grilled or baked chicken. Just make sure it’s shredded finely for the best texture.
Customize the Heat: Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to suit your taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less buffalo sauce or mix in some extra ranch dressing. For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
Cheese Variations: While cheddar cheese adds a great flavor, you can experiment with other types of cheese like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even blue cheese for a different taste profile.
Perfectly Buttered Tops: When spreading the melted butter and seasoning mix on top of the rolls, use a pastry brush to ensure even coverage. This will help the tops of the sliders turn golden and crispy.
Serving Size: Cut the sliders with a sharp knife to ensure clean edges and make them easier to serve. If you’re serving a large crowd, consider making a double batch.
Leftover Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to retain the crispiness of the rolls.
