# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The creamy spicy dip soaks into soft buns creating a pull apart texture thats impossible to resist.
  • Everything bakes together in one dish so theres no juggling multiple pans or complicated timing.
  • They taste like Buffalo wings and pizza had a baby without the mess of bones or grease on your fingers.
  • You can assemble them hours ahead and just pop them in the oven when guests arrive.
02 -
  • Let the cream cheese soften completely or youll end up with clumps that never fully blend into the dip no matter how hard you stir.
  • Dont skip the foil step because the buns will brown too fast and turn hard before the cheese inside melts properly.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the buns while theyre still attached so you get clean even cuts instead of tearing them apart.
  • If your Buffalo sauce is really thin, drain the shredded chicken well or the dip will be too runny and make the buns soggy.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the sliders after baking because it glides through the cheese and bread without squishing everything.
  • If the tops brown too quickly, tent the dish loosely with foil for the last few minutes so the cheese keeps melting without burning the buns.
  • Add crumbled cooked bacon or chopped green onions to the dip for extra flavor and texture that makes people ask whats different.
  • Freeze leftover sliders individually wrapped in foil, then reheat them in a 300°F oven for 20 minutes straight from frozen.
