It’s football season and for many people that means tailgating. Easy Buffalo chicken sliders with homemade blue cheese dressing are great game day food. Make just as many or few as you need for your guests.

My family love Buffalo chicken wings and Buffalo chicken dip so Buffalo chicken sliders naturally evolved. You can’t have Buffalo chicken without a blue cheese dressing.
What’s great about this recipe is you can make the blue cheese a day or two in advance. Same goes for cooking the chicken. Just shred it and put it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the sliders.
The ideal temperature for cooked poultry is about 165 degrees F. I took boneless skinless chicken breasts out of the oven at 163 degrees F because I knew they would continue to cook a bit as they rested.

My recipe says to use your favorite Buffalo wing sauce. There are many on the market. If you’ve never bought wing sauce before you should find a few varieties near the barbecue sauces in your favorite supermarket.
You may or may not use all of the chicken. That’s up to you and how full you want the sliders. I piled it all on but you could save some for sandwiches another day.
Brushing butter over the top before baking makes the buns a bit crispy and adds more flavor. Especially with the addition of garlic powder to the butter. Don’t skip covering them for a portion of the baking. They will be too crispy of you bake the entire time uncovered.
If you’re pressed for time, you can certainly take a shortcut and use bottled blue cheese dressing but, trust me, it’s so easy to make. Plus so much better than any bottle. Another bonus is your friends will be so impressed you made it! It can be made a couple of days in advance of your party.
Either serve a big bowl of the homemade blue cheese dressing with a spoon so guests can put some on their plate or give each guest their own small container for dipping.
