These Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sliders are everything you want in a game day snack or weeknight dinner—bold, creamy, a little spicy, and ridiculously easy to make.

I started making these for casual weekend dinners when I needed something that felt fun but still used real ingredients. With shredded buffalo chicken made right in the crockpot, these sliders are high in protein, full of flavor, and always a hit with the whole family.

Bonus: they’re just as good for meal prep as they are for parties.

Ingredients

• 1.5–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/2 cup clean buffalo sauce (look for one with minimal ingredients)

• 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (homemade or store-bought)

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or avocado mayo

• 12 whole grain or gluten-free slider buns

• Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, crumbled feta or blue cheese

Instructions

1. Add chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning to a slow cooker. Stir to coat evenly.

2. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.

3. Shred the chicken right in the crockpot. Stir in Greek yogurt or avocado mayo to make it creamy.

4. Toast slider buns if desired, then build your sliders with buffalo chicken and any toppings you love.

5. Serve warm and enjoy!

Why I Love This Recipe

These sliders feel like comfort food, but they’re made with clean, high-protein ingredients that keep you full and energized—not sluggish. I love serving them for casual dinners, weekend gatherings, or just when we need something fun but still nourishing.

This was one of the first “game day-style” recipes I figured out how to clean up, and now it’s a staple in our house all year long.
