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
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
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).
Step 4
Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice or shred them into small, slider-sized pieces.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Return the sliced or shredded chicken thighs to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until fully coated. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Lightly toast the slider buns, if desired.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve the sliders immediately, or keep them warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Enjoy!
