Ingredients

4servings

4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts½ cup buffalo wing sauce, or more as needed4 slices LAND O LAKES® Deli American, cut into quarters8 slider buns, sliced8 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing1 rib celery, cut into 2-inch thin sticks

Instructions

Pound and Marinate Chicken

Start by cutting each chicken breast in half and popping the pieces into a large zip-top bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them until they’re about half an inch thick. Pour in as much buffalo wing sauce as you like, seal the bag, and give it a good shake to coat all the chicken. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Grill Chicken with Cheese

When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat—whether gas or charcoal works fine. Take the chicken out of the sauce (throw out the leftover sauce) and place the pieces on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. If you want, brush on some extra buffalo sauce while it grills. In the last minute, add a couple of cheese quarters on top so they melt nicely.

Toast and Assemble Sliders

While the chicken finishes up, put your slider buns cut-side down on the grill for a minute or two until they’re toasted and golden. Spread some dressing on the toasted sides, then pile on some celery sticks and the buffalo chicken before topping with the bun. Enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These sliders combine spicy, tangy buffalo sauce with tender grilled chicken, creating a perfect balance of flavors. They are easy to make and great for gatherings or a quick weeknight meal. Plus, the smoky grill adds a delicious touch that elevates the dish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sliders with crisp celery sticks and a side of cool ranch or blue cheese dressing. Adding pickles or shredded lettuce inside the slider can add freshness and crunch. They pair well with a cold beer or a tangy lemonade.

Storage Tips

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the grill to keep the chicken moist. Keep any extra sauce separate to avoid soggy buns.
