01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

05 - Evenly spread the Buffalo chicken dip mixture over the bun bottoms, distributing it across all sliders.
06 - Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture layer.
07 - Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese layer, covering the mixture completely.
08 - Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush the mixture evenly over the tops of all buns.
09 - Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes to allow cheese to begin melting.
10 - Remove foil and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and bun tops are golden brown.
11 - Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Slice carefully and serve warm.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They vanish faster than you can plate them, which means you did something right.
  • All the messy joy of Buffalo chicken dip tucked neatly inside soft, golden buns.
  • You can prep the filling ahead and assemble right before guests arrive.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, though you probably won't have any.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening the cream cheese or you'll end up with clumps that never fully blend into the dip.
  • If your Buffalo sauce is super thin, reduce it in a pan for a few minutes first so the filling doesn't turn soggy.
  • Leaving the buns connected makes assembly easier and keeps them from sliding around in the dish.
  • Let them rest for 3 minutes after baking so the dip sets slightly and doesn't spill everywhere when you cut.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to slice the buns in half while they're still connected, it's faster and cleaner than a knife.
  • Line your baking dish with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup you've ever had.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, double the recipe and use two dishes, they bake at the same time and disappear just as fast.
  • Taste your Buffalo sauce before mixing, some brands are vinegary and need a pinch of sugar to balance.
