Notes
Here are some tips to ensure your Buffalo Chicken Sliders are a hit every time:
- Storage: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain their texture.
- Freezing: You can freeze the buffalo chicken mixture before assembling the sliders. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before use.
- Pairing: Serve these sliders with fresh veggies or a light salad for a balanced meal.
- Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer milder flavors, reduce the amount of Buffalo sauce or pair with ranch dressing.
- Extra Toppings: Feel free to experiment with toppings like jalapeños, diced celery, or even avocado to create your signature slider.
