BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Carefully slice the pack of dinner rolls in half, being sure to keep the rolls connected as a single units as they are split into tops and bottoms.
• Remove the top and place the bottom section in a 9x12 inch (23x30 cm) baking dish.
• Sprinkle the bottom with about 1 cup (100 g) of the shredded mozzarella cheese (make sure it is evenly coated as this will act as a barrier between the sauce and the bread, preventing the rolls from getting soggy).
• Top the cheese with the shredded rotisserie chicken. Drizzle the hot sauce and ranch dressing evenly over the chicken and spread out evenly with a spoon. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Place the top half of the rolls on top and brush evenly with melted butter.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the rolls have heated through.
• Remove from oven, cool slightly before transferring to a cutting board.
• Using a large knife, follow the lines of the rolls, cutting them into 12 individual sliders.
• Enjoy!
