Party Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ spicy buffalo chicken wing with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping?!?!? Most of the time, they’re fried, crispy and just plain delicious!! I thought I’d take a shot at lightening up this traditional, yummy appetizer and putting it in slider form. Now I don’t claim to be a health guru/nut so this is only slightly lightened up, guys! You’re welcome! I do what I can! 🙂

I ran across a recipe for Cheesy Party Burgers from a fellow blogger and decided to make them for a party. They were a HUGE hit with everyone! I started thinking about how I would adapt it for the blog and immediately buffalo chicken came to mind. Probably because it’s such a big favorite for me. I’m a spicy kinda girl, if you know what I mean! Again, I blame that Aunt of mine who put me on spicy foods at the ripe age of 4. Yep! It’s always been an innate desire of mine since preschool! SPICE IS NICE if you will!! Thank you Auntie Gail! 🙂

Where was I? Oh yeah, buffalo chicken sliders! I combined roasted chicken with onions, carrots, and celery and topped them with mild gorgonzola and Monterey jack cheeses to bring it all together.  These sliders did really well with the family. Oh and I personally had let’s see, 1, 2, oh 3 of ’em. Super yummy and easy to make! What takes them over the top is the yummy glaze that’s poured over them after the assembly process. It’s sweet, it’s tangy, it’s just perfect for these spicy buffalo chicken sliders. Serve ’em up at your next fellowship party (or faith group) (Acts 2:42-47) and watch them disappear fast! Thanks for stopping by today, guys! Say Grace and enjoy!
