03 - 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot Buffalo sauce
04 - 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Garlic Butter Topping

10 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
11 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
03 - Place the bottom halves of the slider buns into the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
04 - Distribute the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the chicken filling.
05 - Cover the filling with the top halves of the buns.
06 - In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Using a pastry brush, generously coat the tops of the buns with the garlic butter mixture.
07 - Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
08 - Remove foil and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and buns are lightly golden.
09 - Cut sliders apart and serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For extra crisp tops, broil the sliders for 1 to 2 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
