    Ingredients

    Here’s what you need to make buffalo chicken sliders. 

    Appetizer Plate with Chicken Tender Sliders with Buffalo Sauce
    • 8 chicken tenders (regular size, you’ll cut each one in half one done cooking to fit the slider roll, alternatively use mini chicken tenders, I just find that they aren’t usually as flat as tenders)
    • 16 mini Hawaiian rolls
    • ½ cup blue cheese dressing (try my homemade recipe, it’s delicious)
    • ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce
    • 1 tbsp cilantro, fresh chopped

    Scale the recipe up or down as needed…

    This particular recipe will teach you how to make 16 of them, which is a good size to feed ~5-6 people.

    Make buffalo sliders with chicken tenders

    1. Air fry chicken tenders (or oven bake them) until done.
    1. Assemble and finish buffalo chicken sliders.

    I like to add a spoonful of blue cheese dressing to the bottom of the slider roll…

    Then half an air fried chicken tender…

    Finished with a drizzle of buffalo wing sauce…

    A little more blue cheese dressing…

    And a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro…

    Then the top bun. 

    Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

    Why I wrote this recipe

    I hadn’t been grocery shopping, but I did have some frozen chicken tenders in the freezer…

    So this recipe for very simple and fast-to-make Buffalo chicken sliders was born.

    If you don’t have or like blue cheese, use ranch dressing instead.

    And if you’ve never tried making your own blue cheese dressing at home, you should…

    You can toast your slider buns if desired by melting butter in a skillet on the stove, and cooking the inside of the buns.

    This is a great addition to a burger bar, because they are so easy to make. 

    Enjoy them!

    Pro tip: One of my go-to tricks for perfectly cooked food every time is using the right BBQ meat thermometers.

    Hey home chef, hope that answers all your questions about creating this game day slider idea in your own kitchen.

    In the future, I’ll share new smoked chicken recipes, crock pot chicken slider ideas, and tasty buffalo chicken dip sliders.

    Equipment

    • air fryer

    Ingredients

    • 8 chicken tenders regular size, you’ll cut each one in half one done cooking to fit the slider roll, alternatively use mini chicken tenders, I just find that they aren’t usually as flat as tenders
    • 16 mini Hawaiian rolls
    • ½ cup blue cheese dressing try my homemade recipe, it’s delicious
    • ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce
    • 1 tbsp cilantro fresh chopped

    Instructions

    • Air fry chicken tenders at 400 degrees F (or oven bake them) until done (~10 – 15 minutes)
    • Finish buffalo chicken sliders. I like to add a spoonful of blue cheese dressing to the bottom of the slider roll, then half an air fried chicken tender, finished with a drizzle of buffalo wing sauce, a little more blue cheese dressing, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro, and then the top bun. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

    Notes

    This recipe calls for 8 chicken tenders that are regular size, which you’ll air fry then cut in half to fit the slider rolls. Alternatively, use mini chicken tenders, but I usually don’t because those aren’t often as flat and easy to fit to the buns as regular tenders.
