Prepare the Dip
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you're not using pre-cooked chicken, cook and shred it now. A rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo hot sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and the optional crumbled blue cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
Assemble the Sliders
- Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Evenly spread the buffalo chicken dip mixture over the bottom half of the rolls. Place the top half of the rolls back on top of the dip.
Bake the Sliders
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley flakes. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls, ensuring even coverage.
- Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes to allow the dip to heat through and the rolls to soften.
- Remove the foil, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the sliders.
- Return the baking dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into individual sliders and serving warm. Enjoy!
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce directly into the dip mixture. These sliders are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until heated through.
