Ingredients for Bacon Chicken Ranch Sliders
Slider buns: Make sure to choose soft slider buns to keep the mini sandwiches tender and easy to bite into. Brioche or Hawaiian rolls are great options.
Cooked rotisserie chicken: Debone and dice the chicken. Rotisserie chicken is convenient and flavorful, but you can also use any leftover chicken you have on hand. Or, you can also cook some chicken up and dice it.
Cooked bacon: Cook and chop the bacon. A tip for crispier bacon is to bake it in the oven on a wire rack over a baking sheet. This keeps it crispy and drains away excess fat.
Shredded cheddar cheese: Shred your own cheese for the best melt and flavor, as pre-shredded cheeses often contain anti-caking agents that can affect melting.
Ranch dressing: Use your favorite brand or make your own for an extra burst of flavor.
Unsalted butter: Melt the butter and use it to brush the tops of the slider buns before baking for a golden brown finish.
Seasonings: Dried parsley (optional, for garnish). Sprinkling dried parsley on top of the sliders after baking adds a touch of color and subtle flavor.
How to Make Bacon Chicken Ranch Sliders
Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Take a baking sheet and either line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Make Sliders
Cut the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread ranch dressing evenly over the bottoms of the buns.
Next, layer shredded chicken on top of the ranch dressing, and then add the bacon on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.
Put the top halves of the slider buns on the cheese. Brush melted butter over the tops of the sliders and sprinkle with dried parsley.
Bake
Cover the sliders loosely with aluminum foil and bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are warm all the way through.
Serve
Take the sliders out of the oven and remove the foil. Serve them warm and enjoy your delicious Bacon Chicken Ranch Sliders!
Tips & Tricks
Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Just cut off the bone and dice it up.
Cheese Option: While cheddar is classic, try using pepper jack cheese for a little kick.
Layer Cheese Twice: Put a layer of cheese on both sides of the chicken for super cheesy sliders.
Pickle Topping: Add a slice of dill pickle on top of the chicken before placing the top bun for a slight twist.
Pre-cook Bacon: Cook bacon ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just heat it slightly before adding to sliders.
Serve with Dipping Sauces: Offer Buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
How to Store Leftovers
To store leftover bacon ranch sliders, begin by placing the sliders in an airtight container or put on a plate and cover with plastic wrap.
You can keep the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
If you want to store the sliders for a longer time, you can freeze them. To do this, wrap each slider individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to help prevent freezer burn. After wrapping, place the sliders in a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container.
Label the bag or container with the date. You can keep the sliders in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
When you're ready to eat them, let the sliders thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Then, reheat them in the oven or microwave until they are hot all the way through.
What to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Sliders
Celery and Carrot Sticks: Or any veggie you like.
Ranch: This creamy dressing is perfect for dipping the sliders or vegetables.
Potato Wedges: Oven-baked or fried.
Coleslaw: Delicious as a side or to use as a topping.
Pickle Chips: Pickles are a great tasty side.
Sweet Potato Fries: A sweeter alternative to traditional fries.
Macaroni and Cheese: This creamy side dish pairs wonderfully.
Onion Rings: Crunchy and delicious.
Garden Salad: A light and healthy side.
