Ingredients
Ground Chicken Mixture
- 1 pound ground chicken Use ground chicken for best flavor.
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (preferably Frank's RedHot) Adjust based on spice preference.
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Use fresh shredded cheese for better melting.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground chicken. Sauté until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder until well mixed.
- Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and is well combined.
- Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon the cheesy buffalo chicken mixture over the bottom halves.
- Place the top halves of the slider buns on top of the chicken mixture, optionally brushing with more buffalo sauce or melted butter.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Let the sliders cool slightly. Garnish with cilantro or green onions if desired, cut them apart, and serve warm.
