Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 12 pieces Slider buns
- 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Thinly sliced red onion
- 12 slices Pickles
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice or shred them into small, slider-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the Buffalo sauce and butter. Stir until the butter melts and the sauce is well combined.
Return the sliced or shredded chicken thighs to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until fully coated. Remove from heat.
Lightly toast the slider buns, if desired.
Assemble the sliders: Spread a small amount of ranch or blue cheese dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, a few pieces of sauced chicken, a slice of red onion, and a pickle. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the sliders immediately, or keep them warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Enjoy!
