  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders (6 servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or grilled)
  • 1/4 cup frank-style hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 mini brioche buns
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh celery
  • Ranch dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in hot sauce and honey together for 30 seconds. Stir in garlic powder and onion powder.
  2. Add shredded chicken to the sauce and toss until fully coated. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb flavor.

  4. Divide chicken mixture evenly among buns. Top with blue cheese and celery.
  5. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
