Buffalo chicken sliders

**adapted from Half-Baked Harvest

Makes 12

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions
• 1 package dinner rolls, halved lengthwise
• 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, melted
• 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 1/3 cup pickled jalapeños(optional)
• 4 tablespoons salted butter
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

A few notes on making these:

• I buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred that meat for my mixture.
• I love using blue cheese dressing for the rolls in this mixture, but you can use ranch if preferred.

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F.
• In a bowl, combine the chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cilantro, and scallions. 
• Place the bottom half of the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Top with cheddar cheese, then drizzle/spoon over the ranch/blue cheese. Add the buffalo chicken, extra herbs, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños (optional). Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.  
• In a bowl, mix the butter, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Spread the butter over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Cover the rolls with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Slice the rolls and serve warm!
