Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
For the Sliders:
  • 12 slider buns
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • Blue cheese crumbles, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving (optional toppings)

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into smaller, bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes). This will make cooking faster and easier.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no longer pink inside (about 8-10 minutes).
