# How To Make It:

02 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing in a medium bowl. Mix until creamy and thoroughly incorporated.

05 - Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses uniformly over the chicken layer. Add crumbled blue cheese and sliced jalapeños if desired.

07 - Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
08 - Remove foil and continue baking for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts completely and bun tops turn golden brown.
09 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chives, and let rest 5 minutes. Pull apart individual sliders to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The messy, beloved flavors of buffalo chicken dip somehow got even better when stuffed inside golden buttery rolls
  • Everything comes together in under an hour but tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen
  • They reheat surprisingly well, though they rarely last long enough to need reheating
02 -
  • The garlic butter step is absolutely crucial for that restaurant-quality golden top and extra flavor layer
  • Letting them cool for those five minutes prevents the filling from oozing out when you pull them apart
03 -
  • Hawaiian rolls add a subtle sweetness that perfectly balances the spicy buffalo sauce
  • Press the buns together tightly before baking so they pull apart in neat squares instead of falling apart
