Buffalo Chicken Sliders with Blue Cheese Dressing

These sliders pack all the spicy, tangy goodness of buffalo wings into a handheld bite—perfect for game day or a fuss-free weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

2. While chicken cooks, make the dressing: In a small bowl, mash blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and black pepper until mostly smooth (a few lumps are fine).
3. Toast slider buns lightly if desired. Layer shredded buffalo chicken on bun bottoms, drizzle with extra sauce from the baking dish, then add a spoonful of blue cheese dressing and lettuce (if using). Top with bun lids.
