Name: Buffalo Chicken Sliders
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (white and dark mixed is fine); 0.75 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade; more to taste); 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 8 slider buns or small soft rolls; 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack (optional, for melty goodness); 0 For the blue-cheese slaw:; 2 cups shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix); 0.3333333333333333 cup mayonnaise; 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt; 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (plus extra to sprinkle); 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar; 0.5 teaspoon honey; 0 Salt and black pepper to taste; 0 Optional garnish:; 0 Sliced pickles or celery leaves; 0 Chopped fresh chives or parsley

1

Make the slaw: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Toss in shredded cabbage and blue cheese until coated. Taste and adjust—slaw should be tangy and a little sweet. Chill while you finish the sliders (this keeps it crisp).

2

Warm the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shredded chicken and pour in buffalo sauce. Stir until everything is heated through and coated—about 3–4 minutes. Taste and add more sauce if you like it hotter. If you prefer saucier sliders, add an extra tablespoon of butter to loosen the sauce.

3

Assemble the sliders: Lightly toast the buns in a dry skillet or under the broiler for 1–2 minutes—just enough to give them a little color and keep them from going soggy. Pile a spoonful of buffalo chicken on the bottom half of each bun. If using cheese, sprinkle some over the hot chicken so it softens.

4

Top with a generous spoonful of blue-cheese slaw, add pickles or celery leaves if using, and crown with the top bun.

5

Serve warm: These are happiest fresh. If making ahead, keep slaw separate and assemble just before serving so buns stay soft and slaw stays crisp.

6

Tip from Grandma: If you like a creamier blue cheese flavor, mash a little extra blue cheese into the slaw dressing. And don’t skip toasting the buns—such a small step makes them much less likely to get soggy.
