History of Buffalo Chicken Wings
Buffalo chicken wings were first created in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. Co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked up leftover chicken wings with some hot sauce for her son and his friends who ended up liking them so much the wings were put on the menu the very next day. Traditionally served with celery and blue cheese dressing buffalo wings eventually became a staple on restaurant menus throughout the country.
Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Sliders
- Shredded Chicken – you can use rotisserie chicken for ease. You can also poach or cook chicken breast in the Instant Pot
- Buffalo style hot sauce – I like this classic hot sauce but you can use your favorite brand
- Ranch dressing
- Cream cheese
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Green onions
- Hawaiian rolls
- Butter
- Ranch seasoning (optional)
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Sliders
These sliders take buffalo chicken dip (a certified crowd favorite) and turn them into a sandwich, and the best part is they are very simple to make. Start by stirring together shredded cooked chicken, buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, cream cheese, freshly grated cheddar cheese and green onions until fully combined.
Cut a package of Hawaiian sweet rolls through the middle to create two large slabs. Place the bottom half in a 9×13 baking dish and spread the chicken mixture over this. Place the remaining half of the rolls on top of this. Combine the melted butter and ranch seasoning (if using) and brush this over the top of the rolls. Bake the sliders for 20 minutes at 350 degrees and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I never knew the history behind buffalo chicken wings, and I find it super interesting to learn! What a great twist putting these in slide form, The bread just counteracts nicely with the filling
Jessica says
Has anyone tried this with blue cheese instead of the ranch dressing?
Brianna Simmons says
I haven’t personally but it sounds delicious! Let me know if you try the blue cheese version.
Brian says
Here’s a tip to keep the tops from burning:
Speak a piece of foil with Pam and cover with the foil. (Sprayed side against the buns to keep them from sticking to the foil.)
Cook for 10 minutes, remove the foil and cook the remaining 10 min.
I use this trick on all the sliders I make and it keeps the tops from getting too hard or burned.
