# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They combine two beloved appetizers into one handheld bite that feels indulgent without being complicated.
  • The creamy Buffalo chicken mixture gets perfectly melty and tangy, soaking into the buns just enough to make every bite juicy.
  • You can assemble them ahead of time and bake them right before guests arrive, making hosting so much easier.
  • Even picky eaters who claim they dont like spicy food end up reaching for seconds because the heat is balanced by all that creamy cheese.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is not fully softened, microwave it for 10 seconds at a time until it is easy to stir, or you will fight lumps the entire time you mix.
  • Do not skip the foil during the first bake, or the tops will brown before the inside gets hot and melty.
  • Let the sliders rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling sets slightly and does not ooze out when you slice them.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the sliders after baking so you get clean cuts without squishing the soft buns.
  • If you want extra crispy tops, broil them for the last minute or two of baking, but watch them closely so they do not burn.
  • For a crowd, double the recipe and use two baking dishes, or bake them in batches and keep the first batch warm in a low oven.
