These Easy Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Sliders for a Crowd are the perfect game day or party food. Tender shredded chicken in a buttery buffalo sauce, piled onto soft slider buns with a cooling drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 breasts)
  • 1 ½ cups buffalo hot sauce (recommended: Frank’s RedHot Original)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • ¾ cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 24–30 slider buns (recommended: brioche or potato rolls)
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • ½ cup ranch or blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the hot sauce until combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the warm buffalo sauce over the chicken, making sure all pieces are coated.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  5. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir into the sauce. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Optional: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place slider buns cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden.
  7. Assemble the sliders: Place bottom buns on a platter, top with shredded chicken, lettuce, and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Add crumbles if desired. Place top buns on and press gently.
  8. Serve immediately, with extra dressing on the side.

Notes

Toasting the buns prevents sogginess. For extra heat, add 1-2 tablespoons cayenne pepper to the sauce. The shredded chicken can be made up to 2 days ahead and reheated.
