# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking dish or sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly coated.
03 -
Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns on the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
04 -
Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken mixture over the buns. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Place remaining buns over the filling to create sandwiches.
05 -
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
06 -
Brush the tops of the buns with the seasoned melted butter. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
07 -
Remove foil and continue to bake for 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and buns are lightly golden.
08 -
Cut the sliders apart and serve immediately while hot.
# Extra Information:

Leftover rotisserie chicken works well for the filling. For a milder taste, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or incorporate more ranch dressing.
