A pan of sliders solves the problem of hungry people arriving all at once. Chicken, bacon, and ranch is the combination nobody argues about, and a sheet pan of them goes from oven to table in one trip.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on game days, for after-practice dinners, and any night when the kids have friends over and a regular casserole won't cut it.
Every recipe here is built on soft rolls and shredded or fried chicken: Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders made with chicken thighs and BBQ rub, a version on King's Hawaiian pretzel buns with chicken tenders and bacon, a crispy buttermilk-fried Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich, and sheet pan buffalo chicken sliders with buffalo sauce and ranch.
Quick Tips
- 1
Butter the tops first
Brush the rolls with 3 tablespoons melted butter before baking so the tops turn deep golden instead of drying out.
- 2
Cook bacon until crisp
Lay the slices on a sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes so they stay crunchy under the warm cheese.
- 3
Slice the slab whole
Cut the rolls through the middle as one piece, fill, then cut into squares after baking so nothing slides apart.
- 4
Drain the buffalo chicken
Toss shredded chicken with sauce, then let it sit 5 minutes and spoon off extra liquid so the bottom buns don't go soggy.
