How to Serve Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Serve these sliders warm, straight out of the oven. You can place them on a platter, and they are great for sharing. Consider offering some sides, like celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping. This will add even more flavor!

How to Store Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

If you have any sliders left over, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days. When you want to eat them again, just reheat in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through.

Tips to Make Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sliders

  • Make sure to use enough buffalo sauce to coat the chicken well. This will keep it juicy and full of flavor.
  • For more heat, feel free to add extra buffalo sauce or some chopped jalapeños.
  • If you want a little crunch, add some shredded lettuce or sliced pickles inside the sliders before serving.

Variation

You can switch things up by using BBQ sauce instead of buffalo sauce for a different flavor. You could also add some cream cheese to the chicken mixture for a creamier texture.

FAQs

  1. Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
    Yes! Just make sure to fully cook and shred the chicken before mixing it with the buffalo sauce.

  2. Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
    Absolutely! Prepare everything and assemble the sliders, then cover and refrigerate. Simply bake when you are ready to serve.

  3. What kind of cheese should I use?
    Cheddar cheese is a great choice, but you can also use mozzarella, pepper jack, or any cheese you like!

Hi, I’m Savannah Brooks, 35 years old, born in Charleston, South Carolina, and now living in Seattle, Washington. My kitchen is small but full of life shelves stacked with spices from all over the world, a sourdough starter that feels like part of the family, and usually a pot bubbling away with something hearty and comforting.

Food has always been the center of my world. Growing up in Charleston, I was surrounded by Southern cooking shrimp and grits, okra stews, biscuits that could melt in your mouth. My grandmother was the first person who showed me that recipes are more than instructions they’re stories passed from one hand to another. I still keep her stained recipe cards in a box, though I’ve long since memorized every one.

My path wasn’t traditional. I studied journalism first, thinking I’d write stories for a living. And I do but now I write them on the plate. After years of working late nights in small cafés, catering weddings, and even running a food truck, I found my true rhythm in cooking that bridges my Southern roots with global inspiration. These days, you’ll find me folding lemongrass into chicken soup, adding harissa to cornbread batter, or topping fried green tomatoes with a touch of miso.

I don’t believe cooking is about perfection it’s about connection. My kitchen is a place for experiments, happy accidents, and plenty of laughter. I’ve burned cookies, curdled sauces, and dropped more than one cake. But every mistake taught me something, and every shared meal reminded me why I love this work.

I cook for people who want food that feels like home but isn’t afraid to wander a little. My hope is that when someone takes a bite of my food, they feel cared for, seen, and maybe a little inspired to try something new in their own kitchen.

So, welcome to my world where Southern comfort meets global curiosity, and every dish tells a story.
