Step-by-Step Guide to the Best Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Baking tray
• Spatula
• Oven
• Knife
• Cutting board
• Measuring cups
• Whisk

Step 1: Preparation for the Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns

• 2 cups cooked Chicken, shredded
• 1 package (8 oz) Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls

Step 2: Cooking the Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything until the mixture is well combined and creamy.

Spoon the chicken mixture onto the bottoms of each slider bun. Place the tops of the buns back on, pressing down gently to secure them. Arrange them on a baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 3: Assembling and Finishing

Once assembled, cover the buns with foil and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are warm all the way through. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These buns are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
