# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Sliders

01 - 9 slider buns
02 - 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
03 - 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot buffalo wing sauce
04 - 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon paprika
09 - 1 cup shredded cheese

→ Garlic Butter Topping

10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x9-inch baking dish or sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish. Distribute the chicken mixture evenly over the buns. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then place the top halves of the buns over the filling.
04 - In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns using a pastry brush.
05 - Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and cheese is fully melted.
06 - Cut the sliders apart and serve hot, accompanied by preferred side dishes.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For extra crispiness, bake uncovered for the last few minutes. These sliders are best when served immediately to retain their texture.
