Ingredients you need

Making baked buffalo chicken sliders sliders could not be more simple. All you need are just a few ingredients that you most likely already have in your fridge or kitchen pantry. This recipe is super easy to customize with swaps for gluten-free, low carb, keto or dairy-free.

• Soft dinner rolls: Soft King’s Hawaiian rolls are always a hit with my guests that have no dietary issues. To make Keto Ham and Cheese Sliders, we will use these paleo, grain-free keto rolls from Unbun or these Carb Wise rolls from Slice of Life
• Shredded Cooked Chicken: You can use leftover Air Fryer Chicken Breast or rotisserie chicken.
• Sliced cheese: We like to use sliced cheddar cheese and sliced Swiss cheese. Place half a slice on each roll for great melty texture. To keep these dairy-free, we use this vegan cheddar from Violife or Chao and the Provolone slices from Violife.
• Buffalo Sauce – use your favorite. We like Frank’s Buffalo Sauce.
• Garlic powder + Italian seasoning: The secret seasoning combination we add to the butter that will take these sliders to the next level!
• Butter: melted to brush over the rolls. You can sub with ghee or use vegan butter (we like this one from Miyokos) to keep these dairy-free.
