Buffalo Chicken Sliders – Buffalo chicken nuggets are loaded into soft sweet rolls and topped with homemade blue cheese sauce

I love a great slider. Full-sized burgers and sandwiches feel like a big commitment and since I have no self-control, I tend to over-eat. Sliders help me manage my over-eating better.

These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are my newest obsession. They have all the punch of buffalo chicken but in a little sandwich. And with my homemade blue cheese sauce to go with it, you’re going to love every single bite.

The sliders are made with sweet and savory dinner rolls. They are the perfect texture and size for the chicken nuggets that will go inside them. I use a bottled buffalo sauce that I love – Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce. But you can certainly use whichever sauce you prefer.

Here are my Buffalo Chicken Sliders!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Make sure the chicken is crispy. When cooking the chicken nuggets, make sure you cook until they get pretty crispy. This ensures they don’t get soggy when adding the buffalo sauce.
  2. Bake in a muffin tin. We bake the sliders in a muffin tin to help toast the bottom of the slider. The buns are super soft so we need a good way to toast the buns and this worked great!
  3. Can also serve open-faced. If you don’t want so much bread in these mini sliders, you can serve with just a bun on the bottom. Just make sure to insert a toothpick through the middle to help keep the sandwich together.

Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Prep Time20 minutes mins
Cook Time10 minutes mins
Total Time30 minutes mins
Servings: 12 sliders

Ingredients

For the blue cheese sauce:
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2/3 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
For the sliders:
  • 12 savory Hawaiian rolls
  • ½ cup Franks buffalo sauce
  • 12 frozen chicken nuggets
  • blue cheese sauce

Instructions

For the blue cheese sauce:
  • Add all the blue cheese sauce ingredients together into a medium bowl. Using a fork mash up the blue cheese into the other ingredients and then combine together until smooth. Add more salt and pepper, if needed.
For the sliders:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 muffin pan with nonstick spray. Grab rolls and slice in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in their own mold of the muffin pan. Set aside.
  • Air fry or bake chicken nuggets according to package instructions. Place cooked nuggets in a large bowl with buffalo sauce. Toss together to coat them. Place one nugget on the bottom half of each roll. Top with the other half of the roll.
  • Bake until the bun is toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Using a spoon, remove slider from the pan and place onto a serving platter. Remove the top bun and spoon blue cheese sauce over the chicken nugget. Replace the top bun. Serve immediately.

      My tita was confused about verifying her clearance for an Australia visa. Someone explained police clearance verification is easy log in to pnpclearance.ph, go to released application, download PDF with QR code. Embassy scans QR to confirm authenticity. She logged in, downloaded, printed with QR, submitted verified instantly. No need to visit PNP office digital QR verification is the norm now.

Apple Pie Slider Doughnuts – rich brioche doughn Apple Pie Slider Doughnuts – rich brioche doughnuts tossed in cinnamon sugar, sliced in half, and stuffed with gooey fried apples! 

I LOVE slider doughnuts, you guys! They're stuffed with SO much filling that you can't just pump it into the center – you have to slice them like a burger bun! These fall-inspired beauties are filled with sticky, sweet, crispy fried apples!

The secret? Brioche dough chilled overnight makes them extra tender and fluffy. Don't worry when they turn super brown when frying – that's just the extra butter and eggs!

Pro tip: Use a candy thermometer to keep oil at 360°F – perfect temp for fluffy doughnuts!

Perfect for brunch or anytime you want bakery-level doughnuts at home!

This is the ULTIMATE party appetizer, you guys! My husband couldn't stop eating it – he ate HALF the loaf himself!  Each fluffy ball pulls right off and it's SO fun to eat!

The secret? Baking in a Bundt pan creates the perfect round shape with a center just big enough for marinara dipping sauce!

Pro tip: Remove from the pan while it's still hot – when it cools, the grease solidifies and makes it harder to remove!

Perfect for game day, pasta night, tailgating, or anytime you need a crowd-pleasing appetizer!

The secret? Cooking the orzo in chicken broth instead of water deepens the flavor SO much. Plus adding the Parmesan slowly ensures it melts smoothly!

I'm team waffles over pancakes ALL the way, you guys! Those syrup-holding nooks? The crispy-fluffy texture balance? Pure perfection! These are SO much better than frozen Eggos!
