Chicken bacon ranch sliders are welcome on any table, no matter the occasion. The buttery sweetness of Hawaiian rolls, smoky bacon, zesty ranch and tender chicken combine to create one of my favorite irresistible appetizers.<\/p>\n
With just a few easy steps, these anytime sliders can make a splash on game day or for potlucks or neighborhood barbecues. (If my cousin doesn’t make these sliders for every family get-together, the complaints are loud\u2014and not just from the kids!) This mini sandwich recipe stands out as one of the best among our slider recipes<\/a>, and it will quickly become one of your faves.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Without separating the rolls, cut them in half horizontally, and then arrange the roll bottoms in a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine the chicken, bacon and ranch dressing. Spoon the mixture over the roll bottoms, and top the chicken mixture with cheese slices, overlapping as needed. Replace the top halves of the rolls.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the butter, chives and garlic powder, and brush it over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n Cover the sliders with foil and bake until the cheese melts, 25 to 27 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the tops are golden brown, five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n Store leftover bacon chicken ranch sliders in an airtight container for up to four days. To reheat, pop them in the air fryer or oven for a quick crisping, and enjoy.<\/p>\n To prevent your bacon chicken ranch sliders from getting too soggy, add a layer of cheese to the bottom half of the rolls before spreading them with the chicken mixture. As the cheese melts, it will act as a barrier to the saucy spread.<\/p>\n Chicken bacon ranch sliders pair nicely with many other awesome appetizer recipes<\/a>. I love serving them with potato chips and one of our best dip recipes,<\/a> like baked onion dip<\/a>. On any game day table, I also try to include something green, such as my go-to crunchy and delicious not-just-for-company green salad<\/a>, and something sweet, like\u00a0a fruit and cheese board<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone looks forward to these amazing chicken bacon ranch sliders that combine smoky, savory and sweet flavors for an awesome
