Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture.
Layer the Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish. Evenly spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the buns, then layer with halved cheese slices for melty richness.
Add Top Buns and Butter Topping: Place the top halves of the buns over the chicken and cheese layer. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley, then brush this flavorful mixture over the tops of the buns.
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes to warm through and start melting the cheese.
Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Serve Warm: Serve the sliders warm, with optional extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping and added creaminess if desired.

Notes

You can prepare the chicken mixture ahead of time and assemble the sliders just before baking for convenience.
For extra heat, add more buffalo sauce or a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
