FAQs

Mozzarella is a great choice for chicken sliders because it melts beautifully and balances the heat from the buffalo sauce. If you want a bit more sharpness, try cheddar or provolone for extra flavour. Blue cheese is also a popular match for buffalo chicken, adding a creamy, tangy note that pairs perfectly with the spicy sauce, especially if you’re after that classic buffalo wing experience.

The spice level in buffalo chicken depends entirely on the sauce you use. Some buffalo sauces are quite mild, while others bring serious heat. If you prefer a little less spice, look for a mild version or mix in a bit of honey or butter to soften the heat. The creamy cheese and soft rolls also help balance any kick, so even those who aren’t big on spice can still enjoy these sliders.

Buffalo chicken sliders are best served hot, straight from the oven while the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. If you’ve made them ahead, it’s best to store them in the fridge once cooled and reheat them thoroughly before serving. Warming them up again ensures the chicken stays juicy, the cheese melts beautifully, and the rolls regain their soft, fresh texture.
