Buffalo Chicken Hawaiian Buns (Printable Version)

Tender buffalo chicken with creamy cheeses and buttery Hawaiian buns, baked until golden and melty.

# Ingredients:

→ Buns

01 - 12 King's Hawaiian slider rolls

→ Chicken filling

02 - 850 grams shredded rotisserie chicken
03 - 120 milliliters buffalo sauce
04 - 120 milliliters ranch dressing
05 - 30 milliliters honey
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - Pinch freshly cracked black pepper

→ Cheese

08 - 240 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese

→ Herb butter topping

10 - 56 grams unsalted butter, melted
11 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
12 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the rolls horizontally in one motion, keeping the top and bottom halves intact.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, honey, minced garlic, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Place the bottom half of the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture across evenly, reaching the edges. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken layer. Cover with the top half of the rolls and gently press down.
05 - In a small bowl, stir melted butter with Italian seasoning and garlic salt. Brush the tops of the assembled sliders liberally with most of the butter mixture, reserving a small amount for after baking.
06 - Loosely cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through.
07 - Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
08 - Remove from the oven, brush the tops with the remaining herb butter, and let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing along the roll lines and serving warm.

# Notes:

01 - Sliders can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated. Bake just before serving for best freshness.
