Equipment

1 piece aluminum foil

Ingredients

24 pack King's Hawaiian rolls
1 ½ cup buffalo sauce
1 ½ lb shredded chicken
4 oz cream cheese softened
¼ cup ranch dressing
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1 TBS salted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Without separating the rolls, use a bread knife to slice the rolls in half horizontally trying to cut them as equally in half as possible. Place the top of the rolls to the side and the bottom roll layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
24 pack King's Hawaiian rolls
Combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce in a large gallon size zipper top bag. Zip it up and toss it all together until the chicken is all coated in buffalo sauce.
1 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, 1 1/2 lb shredded chicken
Spread an even layer of cream cheese on the slider buns, making sure to cover all of them with at least a thin layer of cream cheese.
4 oz cream cheese
Add the buffalo chicken mixture right on top of the cream cheese layer, making sure to spread it evenly across all of the sandwich rolls.
Drizzle ranch dressing top on top of the chicken, making sure to at least get some ranch on every single slider.
1/4 cup ranch dressing
Finish off the sliders by adding one layer of sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the ranch. Cut slices into smaller pieces if necessary to make one single layer.
8 slices mozzarella cheese
Place the other half of the rolls on top of the cheese and cover the top lightly with aluminum foil. Place the entire sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake covered for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil from the sliders and bake for another five minutes.
Remove from the oven when the tops are turning golden brown. Brush the tops with butter then allow to cool until cool enough to handle then serve immediately.
1 TBS salted butter

Notes

While you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days, these are best enjoyed within 24 hours. Because they have a layer or cream cheese and saucy buffalo chicken, the bottom buns tend to get a little soggy from all the moisture.

Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on who will be eating these. The way the recipe is written is a good amount for people who like the flavor of buffalo sauce without too much heat (the sweetness of the rolls balances it out). If you really like heat, you can add more sauce.
