Common Questions About Bacon Chicken Ranch Sliders

Can I Use Chicken Breasts Instead of Rotisserie Chicken?

Yes, absolutely! Chicken breasts can be cooked and shredded or chopped for this recipe. You might also consider chicken thighs for a juicier option.

What’s the Best Kind of Cheese to Use?

While cheddar cheese is classic, feel free to experiment with different options like pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a stretchy cheese pull.

Can These Sliders Be Made Ahead of Time?

You can assemble the sliders in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Just bake them when you’re ready to serve for the best taste and texture.

Storage

I love slider recipes. There is just so much to love about them! If you like this one, be sure to save the recipe card.

Refrigerator

Keep any leftover sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.

Freezer

Freezing isn’t recommended due to the sliders’ components, such as the ranch dressing and fresh toppings, which might not thaw well.

Tips

Don’t worry, this is a super easy recipe. I’ve got just a few tips here to keep you on the right track!

• Use a pastry brush for an even butter spread on top of the rolls.
• A serrated knife is best for cutting through the slider buns cleanly without squishing them.
• If using garlic powder or onion powder, sprinkle it along with the ranch seasoning for an extra flavor kick.
• For crispy bacon, lay the bacon strips on paper towels after cooking to remove excess fat.
• Don’t skip the chilling step if you have time; it helps solidify the flavors and makes the sliders even more delicious.

Ingredients

I’ve got some very simple ingredients here that will make your bacon ranch chicken sliders a truly memorable experience.

• Slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls are a great choice for their subtle sweetness)
• Cooked and diced chicken (rotisserie chicken works great for convenience)
• Slices of crispy bacon
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Ranch dressing for that creamy, tangy flavor
• Butter, melted (unsalted preferred)
• Parsley, dried (optional, for garnish)
• Lime slices for a tangy garnish
