Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package Hawaiian Slider Buns
  • 1 cup Onion Diced
  • 12 oz Shredded Chicken
  • 9 Slices Colby Jack
  • 10 slices Cooked Bacon (1 ½ cups bacon bits)
  • 1 cup Ranch Dressing
  • ¼ cup Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Ranch Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoon Butter Melted

Instructions
 

  • Prep Onions: Dice the onions and Sauté them in a small amount of oil on medium heat until soft. Set aside.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F
  • Make the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, ¾ of the cooked bacon, and half the ranch dressing. Mix until well combined, and you want the mixture to be a little bit moist but not overly wet.
  • Prepare the Rolls: Slice the rolls in half to create a bottom and top layer. Lightly spray a baking dish with oil and place the bottom half of the rolls in the pan.
  • Assemble the Sliders: Brush ranch on the bottom rolls. Layer with half the cheese, chicken mixture, sautéed onion, and bacon...then repeat with the second half. Spread ranch on the inside of the top layer of rolls and then place on top.
  • Add the Topping: Melt butter and mix it with the ranch seasoning. Using a pastry brush, evenly spread it on top of the rolls.
  • Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Make your own bacon bits for the best flavor - I baked my bacon in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes for the perfect crunch.
  • For the best texture, don't overdo the ranch in the chicken mixture. You want it to be creamy and not soggy.
  • Easy cleanup - Use parchment paper to prevent sticking, and it also helps with transferring the sliders.
  • Choose Good Ranch Dressing - The dressing you choose adds a lot of flavor. Choose your favorite, or even better, try my homemade Buttermilk Ranch.
Refrigerator - Once sliders are cooled, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Freezer - Wrap tightly in plastic and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed.
Reheating: The best way to reheat chicken bacon ranch sliders is in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes, covered in foil. A microwave will work for a quick fix, but the buns could be slightly rubbery.
